"Controversy in Wisconsin: Medical Student Advocates for Full-Term Abortion and Threatens to Leave State"

A Medical College of Wisconsin student, Madalynn Welch, expressed support for unrestricted abortions, including full-term abortions, during a legislative hearing discussing a bill that would ban abortion after 14 weeks except in cases where the mother's life is in danger. Her comments sparked backlash on social media, with pro-life users expressing outrage. The bill's authors described it as a "middle of the road approach," but Democratic Governor Tony Evers has vowed to veto it, criticizing its lack of exceptions for incest or rape. Evers also announced expanded access to contraception for enrollees in the state’s Medicaid program.
