A coalition of anti-abortion organizations is urging two Wisconsin prosecutors to pursue charges against abortion providers in their counties despite a court's ruling that abortion is legal.
Wisconsin Family Action President Julaine Appling speaks during a news conference Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023, at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis. Appling was one of a number of leaders of anti-abortion organizations who called for prosecutors in Dane and Milwaukee counties to enforce a state law that conservatives maintain bans abortion.
“If district attorneys Ozanne and Chisholm do their job and ensure prosecution of abortionists in their counties is enforced, we will save lives,” said Heather Weininger, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life. But Wisconsin legislators never erased the 1849 ban from state law. Conservatives contend that the Supreme Court's decision in June 2022 to reverse Roe v. Wade and return the power to regulate abortions to the states effectively reactivated the prohibition.
