Wisconsin Assembly representative Chuck Wichgers planned to intensify the GOP war on women with abortion bill amendments

 
Bang, bang!  His amendments were shot down.

Headline:  WisPolitics, 1/25/2024

But it's OK for public employees to work with anti-abortion groups!  (Retiring Guy is sure that Chuck missed the irony here.)
Wichgers’ referendum proposals, if approved by voters, would have: 
  • designated an unborn child as a dependent for income tax purposes. 
  • prohibited the use of public employees and property for activities relating to abortion; 
  • clarified prohibitions on abortions do not apply to physicians who perform procedures intended to protect the life of the mother or an unborn child; 
  • required the Department of Health Services to award a $1 million grant to Choose Life Wisconsin to distribute to pregnancy resource centers; [emphasis added]
  • and required the state provide $5 million for the Department of Children and Families to administer a grant program to assist prospective adoptive families.
