TL;DR Summary

Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin have introduced a bill to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for cases where the mother's life or health is at risk, prompting a promise of veto from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The bill requires voter approval before taking effect and is being fast-tracked through the Legislature, with a public hearing scheduled for Monday. Evers has stated his opposition to reducing abortion access in Wisconsin, which is currently banned after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The bill aims to put the issue to voters in a referendum, but its support in the state Senate remains uncertain.
