Wisconsin gets F on reproductive rights

Some of Wisconsin's laws that NARAL opposes include:

• A 24-hour waiting period, after required counseling, for abortions.

• An unconstitutional ban on abortions that was not changed following the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. If Roe were overturned, it would become illegal in Wisconsin to have an abortion or help someone have one.

• A ban on using public funds to counsel or refer women for abortions.

• Some restrictions on insurance coverage for abortion.

• Prohibition of so-called partial birth abortions unless a woman's life is endangered.

• Allowing some health care professionals to refuse to participate in abortion and euthanasia.

• No public funding for elective abortions.

• Required parental or guardian consent for minors, though a court may waive that requirement in some cases.

• Targeted regulations and reporting requirements for abortion providers.
