MADISON, WI (WTAQ-METRO) – Chief Justice Annette Ziegler called for an investigation after someone leaked a report that the Wisconsin Supreme Court will take-up an abortion case in the coming months.
The story was leaked to the liberal-leaning Wisconsin Watch, and said the high court will hear the case that seeks to declare a right to abortion in Wisconsin.
The draft order denies Wisconsin’s pro-life groups a chance to intervene in the case, but will allow them to file a brief. Ziegler says she is ‘shocked’ that the court’s draft order was leaked. She said in a statement that she has contacted law enforcement, and has asked for a formal investigation.
Planned Parenthood asked the court back in February to take-on the right-to-abortion case. There’s no word when arguments may come.
