Here's a great joke: Why do Wisconsin liberals vote for liberal judges?

So they can kill their babies!!!

Tough crowd.

Tough and very complicated subject here.

From the AP:

State lawmakers adopted the ban in 1849, making it a felony when anyone other than the mother 'intentionally destroys the life of an unborn child.'

It was in effect until 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide nullified it. Legislators never officially repealed the ban, however, and conservatives argued that the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe reactivated it.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit that year arguing that the ban was trumped by abortion restrictions legislators enacted during the nearly half-century that Roe was in effect. Kaul specifically cited a 1985 law that essentially permits abortions until viability. Some babies can survive with medical help after 21 weeks of gestation.

The liberals ruled in a 4-3 majority to overturn the abortion ban. What's more, they'll have a 5-3 majority once Susan Crawford, who won the spring election, is sworn in.

Just another reminder that elections have dire consequences:

I'm going to try to be as sarcastic as possible here when I say,

Great job, Wisconsin!
