The topic of abortion
is always going to come up
in an election season.
But since the 'Dobbs' decision
returned abortion laws
to the states
it's an even bigger topic
because each new governor
and Legislature
could rewrite state laws.
I'm Here & Now
senior political reporter
Zac Schultz.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers
and Republicans
in control of the Legislature
were unable to come up
with any compromises
on the topic of abortion
the past four years.
But with control
of the Legislature
up for grabs
we asked the
leading candidates
for governor
if they want to see
any changes to
Wisconsin's abortion laws.
Republican Tom Tiffany
said he didn't
expect any changes
stressing that he voted
for the current law
when he was in the
state Legislature
while Republican Scott Walker
was governor.
Democrats ranged
in their answers
from those that said
they were comfortable
with the current standard
that mirrored
the national standard
set by 'Roe v. Wade'
while others said
they wanted broader changes
to all the laws
that govern the
entire process.
But they all stressed
their belief
that it should be a decision
between a woman
and her doctor.
