The headline on this story is misleading. There is no way that the Wisconsin Republicans outright pass a 14-week abortion ban. They would lose their supermajority and might even the majority in both houses. What they did instead was more akin to taking the condom off without permission during sex. A bill that would place a 14-week abortion ban on the April ballot as a referendum has now passed both houses. If the referendum passes it will be law the next day and they can say nuh-uh, we didn't do nothin', it was you! If they were serious about letting the people decide then they would have placed on the November ballot with its higher turnout. They won't do that because they know that it is so unpopular that it would go down in flames and drag Republican candidates down with it. [Associated Press]
