It's evident that current Wisconsin law on abortions (ALL are criminal--but not criminal for the woman) will be replaced. It's only a matter of time, no matter the result of the Supreme Court election.
So what can we expect from the Republicans due to their stark raving fear of the press and of suburban mommies whose daughters will be 'inconvenienced' (if not for their own 'inconvenience')?
Tennessee Republicans have introduced and sponsored two bills in the state legislature to amend the Human Life Protection Act (HLPA).
The first new bill, HB1440/SB857, amends the HLPA to make an exception to allow abortion if the conception occurred by rape....
...[The second] bill would substantially amend the HLPA to allow the abortion of children having a “lethal fetal anomaly.” The bill also allows abortion for preventing (in addition to treating) a medical emergency for the mother.
Further, the HB883/SB745 changes the state’s burden of proof in the prosecution of criminal abortion by allowing abortion subject to the physician’s “good faith medical judgment” rather than “reasonable medical judgment.” In his recent legal opinion, pro-life attorney Paul Linton wrote that passing HB883/SB745 would “effectively nullify the prohibition of abortion in Tennessee.”...
It's likely that Vos and LeMahieu will attempt to sneak through a provision which would 'effectively nullify the prohibition' just as in Tennessee. Failing that, they will push through a bill allowing abortion in cases of rape or incest--IOW, executing the child for the crime of the father.
Who knows? They may not even demand documentation of the crime.
We said it here, first.
