VP Harris singles out Wisconsin abortion ban in push for abortion access nationwide

MADISON (WKOW) -- Abortion access has been a big focus for the Biden Administration since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer.

On a call with reporters Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris singled out several states for abortion restrictions that have been enacted since then.

"This fight will be won only when we secure reproductive rights for every person in every state," Harris said.

She denounced a proposed six-week abortion ban in Florida. She brought up a lawsuit five women have filed against Texas because of that state's abortion ban. And she singled out Wisconsin's near-total abortion ban, which has been on the books since 1849.
