Wisconsin judge set to hear arguments challenging state's abortion ban

Wisconsin's AG filed a lawsuit seeking to repeal the state's abortion ban. A judge will now hear arguments challenging the state's 174-year-old ban.

Kaul initially sued Republican legislators but later dropped them from the case and named three district attorneys as defendants, seeking to prohibit them from enforcing the ban. Thursday’s hearing before Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper was expected to focus on a motion by one of the prosecutors named. Republican Joel Urmanski, Sheboygan County’s district attorney who has vowed to prosecute anyone violating the abortion ban, has asked the court to dismiss the case.
