AB43 would permit a pharmacist to prescribe and dispense “self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives.”
The Assembly passed AB43 on May 13, 2025, by a vote of 87 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill would enable at home-abortions. Prescription birth-control drugs, not to mention over the counter “morning-after” pills (e.g., Plan B), can and do prevent uterine implantation of developing preborn children, causing them to function not only as “contraceptives,” but as abortifacients. Abortion is murder, and no person has a right to kill a preborn child. Since the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, Wisconsin ought to abolish abortion entirely. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and secured by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
