Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, now with a liberal majority, has agreed to hear two challenges to the state’s 1849 abortion law.
One challenge disputes a ruling from a Dane County judge that the law targets mothers seeking to terminate their pregnancies and does not apply to doctors performing abortions.
The other challenge, brought by Planned Parenthood, seeks to establish a constitutional right to abortion in Wisconsin.
Pro-Life advocates argue that any changes to abortion laws should be made through the legislature, not the courts.
