Rep. Sequanna Taylor’s Statement on the Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision on 1849 Abortion Ban
Milwaukee, Wis – Today, in a 4-3 decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the state’s 1849 abortion ban. Representative Taylor (D-Milwaukee) issued the following statement:
“Today’s ruling is a step forward for reproductive freedom in Wisconsin—but the fight is far from over. This decision reflects the power of organizers, advocates, and everyday people who refused to stay silent. Still, legal clarity is not the same as full protection. Abortion access remains fragile until we enshrine it into law and our state Constitution.
