AB176 would permit a pharmacist to dispense "self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives" without a prescription from a physician or other medical professional.
The Assembly passed AB176 on June 21, 2023, by a vote of 82 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because hormonal birth control drugs, particularly high-dose prescription-only 'morning-after' pills, can and do prevent uterine implantation of developing pre-born children, causing them to function not only as "contraceptives," but also as abortifacients, thereby resulting in 'silent abortions.' Given that the care of human life-not its destruction-is the greatest responsibility of government, Wisconsin should act to forbid all methods of abortion and secure the right to life for every pre-born child. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
