There’s No Right to Abortion in Wisconsin’s Constitution

The Wisconsin attorney general’s attempt to find a right to abortion in the Wisconsin Constitution is unprecedented, and wrong.

Late last month, Wisconsin attorney general Josh Kaul turned Wisconsin into the latest state where pro-abortion forces are trying to impose a radical abortion agenda. And this time, he wants to do it without voters’ even having a say. His preferred method is to get the state’s supreme court to take up a new constitutional issue on appeal in his own case, and then rule that the Wisconsin constitution protects abortion.

Procedurally, Kaul’s case is strained, at best. But more importantly, his arguments fail on the merits.
