Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed a motion to expedite a decision on the state's 1849 abortion law.
In July Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper denied a Republican attorney's motion to dismiss. At that time, Schlipper said the 1849 statute outlaws feticide but doesn't apply to consensual, medical abortions. The legal language in the ban doesn’t use the term “abortion,” so the law only prohibits attacking a woman in an attempt to kill her unborn child.
