The proposed bill would prohibit anyone from performing or attempting to perform an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is present unless the pregnant woman’s life is in danger.
“Our family members, friends, and neighbors ... should not be denied the ability to safely access time-sensitive health care,” Murray said.
The Senate’s government operations committee held a public hearing on the bill Tuesday. Republican leaders in the Senate and Assembly haven’t scheduled any floor votes on the measure yet, but even if the bill were to pass both houses Democratic Gov. Tony Evers almost certainly will veto it. Evers vetoed a slate of Republican bills aimed at reducing abortions in December, including measures that would put doctors in prison for life if they don’t provide care for babies that survive abortions and ban abortions based on the fetus’ sex.
Evers said then that as long as he is governor he’ll veto any legislation that “turns back the clock on reproductive rights in this state.”Rebecca Kleefisch, who is vying with Kevin Nicholson for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, has said she would sign a Texas-style abortion ban. Nicholson’s spokeswoman, Courtney Mullen didn’t immediately respond to an email inquiring about his stance on the ban.
