|  | Wisconsin Abortion Procedure Ban AB 710 |
| | | | | |
| The State Abortion Ban would replicate the Federal Abortion Ban
in Wisconsin law, doubly outlawing an already-illegal abortion procedure that doctors consider the safest for women under some circumstances.
This repetitive, unnecessary proposal would allow state and local prosecutors, in addition to federal prosecutors, to investigate possible violations of the ban. We could see local district attorneys prying into women's private medical records; "investigating" miscarriages; and harassing doctors, medical workers and pregnant women and their families.
Like the Federal Abortion Ban, the state ban also does not include an exception for women whose health is in jeopardy. The ban prevents doctors from providing the best care to patients, including those in high-risk situations, and allows politicians to interfere with the personal and private medical decisions a woman makes with her family. |
