Wisconsin legislators are considering legislation that would allow voters to decide on a "personhood amendment" which would make preborn children a protected class under state law.

Matt Sande, a representative of Pro-Life Wisconsin, told OneNewsNow why the amendment is necessary.

"In the Declaration of Rights of our state Constitution, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness only applies to the born human being," Sande explains.

Passage of this amendment would allow Wisconsin lawmakers to exercise more control over the abortion industry with legislation.
