Wisconsin political leaders quickly shared their impressions of what this news means for Wisconsin. Governor Tony Evers along with 16 other governors penned a letter to the leaders of Congress calling on the U.S. Senate to take up the Women’s Health Protection Act, which could codify the right to abortion into federal law. Over Twitter, Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin said, “If SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on Roe v. Wade, then the Senate needs to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act and if we need to eliminate the filibuster to get it done, we should do that too.” Republican Senator Ron Johnson only reacted to the leak saying, “The goal of this unprecedented breach is to intimidate sitting Supreme Court justices. This is yet another example of how the radical left intends to fundamentally transform America,” he said.
