I can only speak for the state I live in - Wisconsin. Abortions are flat out illegal and there is no exception for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.

Please don't make stuff up. You can read the law here: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/940/i/04 https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/940/i/04 Here is the important part: This section does not apply to a therapeutic abortion which: (a) Is performed by a physician; and (b) Is necessary, or is advised by 2 other physicians as necessary, to save the life of the mother; and (c) Unless an emergency prevents, is performed in a licensed maternity hospital.

It's extraordinary how much hysteria the overturning of Roe vs. Wade has created. Despite the new federal decision not in any way being a ban on abortions (the federal government has made many efforts to stress this part by the way), despite it being grounded in pretty decent constitutional reasoning about states' rights, and despite the fact that abortion rights are legal and heavily supported by voters in most U.S states, there are people painting the picture as if it meant a near immediate return to some early 20th century notion of reproductive rights. You yourself: flatly stating a lie (or if we're being generous a grossly lazy mistaken statement) about things in your state despite the contrary being completely and very easily verifiable in just seconds. This seems to be an exaggerated attitude shared by quite a few internet commentators on this issue, to an emotionally irrational degree. It's absurd, and I say this as someone who fully supports abortion rights in the widest ethically defined sense of the idea.
