19th century law fails: Wisconsin supreme court overturns 176-year old abortion ban; pro-choice advocates cheer

This law criminalizes abortions only when the fetus is viable outside the womb. The ruling concludes a three-year legal battle. It reaffirms that current laws focused on fetal viability are now in effect.
