it means all women's health issues would come to a stand still in Wisconsin as long as she's governor. What Dem legie (all of which know Kathleen can't put her religion aside and do the people's work when it comes to reproductive health) will risk putting such legislation in front of her and give her the opportunity to turn back the clock with the stroke of a pen?
