Gov. Tony Evers announced Wednesday during a news conference in Milwaukee that he is calling the Legislature into a special session to repeal Wisconsin's 172-year-old criminal abortion ban.If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, Wisconsin's law could go immediately into effect banning abortion at any stage of pregnancy without exception for rape or incest.The only exception is when the mother's life is at risk.Wisconsin remains one of several states with existing criminal statutes enacted before Roe v. Wade became the law."Every single Wisconsinite should have the right to consult their family, their faith and their doctor to make a reproductive health care decision that is right for them. And every single Wisconsinite should be able to make that deeply personal decision without interference from politicians who don't know anything about their life circumstances, values, or responsibilities," Evers said. "We cannot allow our kids and grandkids to grow up in a world where they have fewer rights than we did growing up. That's not the future we’ve promised them. And it’s not the future they deserve."Evers signed the executive order following the news conference. The special session is to be held at noon June 22. Wednesday afternoon, state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu responded to the special session order. "We will gavel out of another blatantly political special session call from this partisan governor," LeMahieu said in a written statement. Evers' opponents in the race for governor immediately blasted the special session."Tony Evers wants abortion without restrictions. Republicans should reject his special session," Rebecca Kleefisch tweeted. "You ignore record murder on our streets and call a special session to encourage the continuation of a practice that has killed 500K+ Wisconsin children and 60M+ American children since #RoeVWade. You need to go," Kevin Nicholson tweetedOn Friday, Tim Michels told WISN 12 News' Matt Smith, "My position is an exact mirror of the 1849 law" and that he would not back proposals to add exceptions for rape of incest
