MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — State Senate Republicans are responding to Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin scheduling abortion services by introducing bills aimed at regulating abortion care.
Those bills got a public hearing in the Senate’s licensing and federalism committee on Tuesday.
The bills clarify that lifesaving procedures on the behalf of a mother are not considered abortions under state law, but also prohibit state employees from promoting or making referrals for abortions.
Other bills would allow expectant parents to make tax deductions, and require the state provide 1 million dollars a year to Choose Life Wisconsin, a pro-life advocacy group.
