Wisconsin’s leftist Supreme Court just struck down a very old law banning abortions in the state, which went into effect after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade.
In short, the state now allows abortion all the way to the 20th week of pregnancy.
Here’s more from NBC News:
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday formally struck down an abortion ban from 1849 that had technically retaken effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights.

“We conclude that comprehensive legislation enacted over the last 50 years regulating in detail the ‘who, what, where, when, and how’ of abortion so thoroughly covers the entire subject of abortion that it was meant as a substitute for the 19th century near-total ban on abortion,” liberal Justice Rebecca Dallet wrote in the majority opinion. “Accordingly, we hold that the legislature impliedly repealed [the 1849 ban] to abortion, and that [that law] therefore does not ban abortion in the State of Wisconsin.”

The state’s 1849 law — enacted the year after Wisconsin was granted statehood — banned abortion in almost all cases by making performing the procedure a felony. Under the law, doctors who perform the procedure technically faced up to six years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. The law included an exception for abortion care only to save the life of the woman, but not for her health or for rape or incest.
