Summary
Wade ruling that women have a constitutional right to an abortion, governors in Michigan and Wisconsin would be powerless to overturn restrictions in their states that were already in place before the 1973 decision.But these governors would be the only obstacle to new measures passed by GOP legislatures, including outright bans on the procedure.A Supreme Court decision is “really just the beginning of the work,” said Terry Schilling, president of the socially conservative American Principles Project. “As the decisions come down to the states, these governors are the ones who can protect access.”She declined to specify how much money the group was budgeting to support candidates who back abortion rights.Some of the Democratic governors up for reelection are increasingly highlighting their commitment to protecting some form of access.“And as long as I’m governor, that’s what I’ll do,” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said during a news conference last week marking the 49th anniversary of the Roe decision.
