Gov. Tony Evers vetoes Wisconsin GOP abortion bills
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Evers vetoed five Republican-authored anti-abortion bills on Friday, two days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could curtail if not end a woman's right to abortion.
Evers, who is making his support for abortion rights a key plank of his 2022 reelection campaign, had been widely expected to veto the measures the GOP-controlled Legislature passed in October.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again today: as long as I'm governor, I will veto any legislation that turns back the clock on reproductive rights in this state — and that's a promise," Evers tweeted in announcing the vetoes.
Republicans do not have enough votes in the Legislature to override the vetoes. Republican legislative leaders did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Evers is the only thing keeping Wisconsin from becoming a full blown fascist state. His opponent in next year's election is running on the promise to bring in Texas style abortion laws.
