Walker Signs 20-Week Abortion Ban

Gov. Scott Walker (R) signed a bill banning abortions in Wisconsin after 20 weeks, the Wisconsin State Journal reports.

“Wisconsin becomes the 15th state to ban abortions at 20 weeks or earlier, which breaks from the viability standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade. Fetuses are generally considered viable at 24 to 28 weeks.”
