GET ME REWRITE: Governor Tony Evers provides a defense against the Wisconsin GOP war on women

 
HeadlineMilwaukee Journal Sentinel, 1/25/2024
It passed the Assembly with a 53-46 vote after 2 1/2 hours of debate, sending the measure to the Republican-led Senate. 
It did not initially include exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, but the bill's authors amended it this week to add those exemptions following public criticism. Amendments to the bill also require doctors to "make reasonable efforts" to preserve the life of the fetus during medical emergencies. [emphasis added]

Which tells you all you need to know about the current state of the Wisconsin GOP.

The GOP 'no' votes came from the most conservative members of the caucus.  They probably wanted a bill with no exceptions.
