Wisconsin Supreme Court to consider whether 175-year-old law bans abortion

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has chosen to review two challenges to a 175-year-old law that some claim prohibits abortion without going through lower courts.

The 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade led to the activation of Wisconsin's 1849 law, criminalizing intentional destruction of an unborn child's life, excluding the mother.
