This bill changes the definition of abortion under state law using non-medical language, creating confusion among patients and providers.

Decisions about pregnancy are deeply personal and people must be able to make their own decisions about their bodies and their lives, not politicians.

This bill is opposed by leading physician organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - Wisconsin Section, the Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians, and the Wisconsin Medical Society.
