"Debate Over Wisconsin Abortion Ban Intensifies as Medical Student Vows to Leave State"

A Wisconsin medical student expressed support for full-term abortions during a public hearing on a bill that would ban abortion after 14 weeks, stating that she and her colleagues would leave the state if they couldn't perform abortions or receive proper training. The bill, co-authored by Republican lawmakers, has drawn criticism for not including exceptions for rape or incest, and is expected to be vetoed by the state's Democratic governor. The Medical College of Wisconsin students voiced concerns that the proposed ban would deter people from becoming licensed OBGYN practitioners and emphasized the importance of access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.
