Tom Tiffany’s abortion illusion
The Trump bill containing the attack on Planned Parenthood was supported by all of Wisconsin’s GOP congressional representatives, including US Rep. Tom Tiffany, a newly-announced candidate for governor in the 2026 election. Tiffany has consistently supported and sponsored bills to create abortion bans at six weeks gestation, with no exceptions for victims of rape and incest. [emphasis added]
But in his first days as a gubernatorial candidate he has tried masking that position with carefully-worded statements about supporting current state law, which restricts abortions at 20 weeks gestation—a bill he voted for while in the legislature in 2015.
“I will uphold the law as written currently,” Tiffany told a Fox 6 Milwaukee reporter, without specifically answering a follow-up question about whether he would veto a more restrictive six-week ban if it came to his desk.
