Failed to pass both houses, will not become law this session

This bill would prohibit state or local government employees from “providing abortion services, promoting or encouraging abortion services, making abortion referrals, or training others or receiving training in performing abortions.”

This legislation is a clear intrusion on reproductive health counseling and stands in the way of pregnant Wisconsinites and their families doing what is best for themselves. Bills like this one are often known as “gag rules” because they prohibit healthcare providers or others from sharing medically accurate and relevant information with those seeking care.
