Mischief Lawmakers fiddling with abortion laws are really just shilling for campaign donations.
Abortion is legal in Wisconsin.
That is the law, as determined by the United States Supreme Court and reaffirmed time and again. But women who seek to exercise their right to choose must leap through hoops created by politicians. Wisconsin legislators, who use the abortion issue as a tool to collect campaign aid and endorsements from powerful special-interest groups such as Wisconsin Right to Life, Inc., have piled legal burdens on women who ought to have free access to safe and legal abortion. With waiting periods, unreasonable requirements on doctors and other tactics, politicians are attempting to convince sincere foes of abortion that they are working to prevent the procedure from being performed. Of course, that's a lie.
