Friday, January 3rd, 2020 -- 8:42 AM
(WRN) -Four Wisconsin congressional Republicans have signed onto a legal brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider overturn Roe versus Wade.Senator Johnson and Representatives Jim Sensenbrenner, Glenn Grothman and Bryan Steil are among 39 Republican senators and 168 representatives who've signed an amicus brief asking the high court to reconsider and possibly overturn its landmark 1973 decision which guarantees women the right to access abortion.
The brief submitted in a case challenging a 2014 Louisiana law which required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of where the abortion is performed. That law is not now in effect, but if it were, reportedly all of Louisiana's abortion clinics would close.
