Wisconsin Gov. Vetoes Five Pro-Life Bills

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D)
On December 3, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers vetoed five pro-life bills. He doubled down on his pro-abortion actions with a statement promising that he will veto all pro-life laws that come across his desk.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again today: as long as I’m governor, I will veto any legislation that turns back the clock on reproductive rights in this state — and that’s a promise,” he tweeted.

The five bills that Gov. Evers vetoed include:
  • A bill that would require medical professionals to provide life-saving care to babies who survive an attempted abortion
  • a bill that would prohibit abortionists from carrying out abortions that are decided due to the child's race, sex, or disability diagnosis
  • a bill that would require doctors who identify congenital conditions to also provide educational resources about that condition and inform parents of supportive resources available to them
  • a bill enhancing abortion reporting requirements for abortion businesses and requiring those businesses to inform women of abortion pill reversal when they begin the chemical abortion process
  • a bill that would have reduced state funding of abortion businesses by preventing them from registering as a provider under Medicaid
This is the second set of pro-life bills Gov. Evers has vetoed since he became the governor.
