TL;DR Summary

Wisconsin Republicans in the Assembly have approved a bill for a statewide referendum to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape and incest. Democrats criticized the bill as government overreach and argued for women's right to make their own reproductive choices. If the bill passes the Senate and is vetoed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, it could still earn Assembly Republicans support from their conservative base, especially in light of recent election wins by Democrats following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
