Wisconsin Bill Would Allow A Mother-In-Law To Stop An Abortion
Click here for reuse options!Under an obscure provision of SB 201, which provides injunctive relief for a “parent or a grandparent,” a particularly meddling mother-in-law who got wind of a planned abortion could go to court and get an injunction against the abortion provider, ordering them not to perform the abortion…
For example, a mother-in-law could get wind-of a planned abortion at clinic X, go to court claiming that this was a gender abortion based on previous pro-boy or pro-girl statements of the daughter-in-law. This law is so vague, that such a claim by the mother-in-law could be enough to get an injunction on the abortion.
Even if the meddling mother-in-law doesn’t win, simply filing a claim would allow her to open up her daughter-in-law’s personal medical records for court inspection, and force the daughter-in-law to answer to a court for her lawful decision to end a pregnancy.
Finally, what every Wisconsin woman wants: Their mother-in-law making their health decisions for them.
