After U.S. Senator Ron Johnson suggested it could be done last year, a bill co-sponsored by Rep. Joel Kitchens could make it possible for you to weigh in on the abortion debate.

Last year, a Dane County judge ruled that Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban did not apply to abortion procedures, allowing clinics across the state to resume the service after not doing them for several months. The bill would ban abortions after 14 weeks. The time period not only matches up with what Kitchens’ constituents have been telling him they would prefer, it also lines up with when 93 percent of abortions in the United States take place. Kitchens says he is personally pro-life, but he understands that many others are pro-choice. He hopes that the will of the people is reflected in the bill, regardless of whatever eventually happens.

Kitchens says he knows they have the votes in the Assembly to get it passed, but he believes more work needs to be done in the Senate. Governor Tony Evers says he will not sign anything that limits a woman’s ability to get an abortion, though Kitchens hopes putting it to a vote could sway him. If approved in time, it could appear on the ballot this April.

The announcement comes months after states like Ohio, Kentucky, and Kansas passed different abortion rights measures.  It also comes on the day thousands participated in the March for Life, hoping to continue the momentum from last year’s reversal of Roe vs. Wade.
