BREAKING: Today, Democrats are announcing a new effort to put an advisory referendum on the ballot this April to ensure the people of Wisconsin can weigh in on whether Wisconsin should overturn our 1800s-era criminal abortion ban and restore #Roe. 🧵

I know where Wisconsinites stand on this issue. Everyone in the State Capitol knows where Wisconsinites stand on this issue. Wisconsinites overwhelmingly support #Roe and safe, legal access to abortion. That's a statement supported by data—it's not up for debate.

But Republicans act like repealing our criminal abortion ban is radical or that there's room for "compromise" on restoring the constitutional rights and freedoms Wisconsinites had for almost 50 years before SCOTUS stripped them away. That's wrong—and Republicans know it.

This is an opportunity to make crystal clear where Wisconsinites stand on this issue: we support #Roe, we support reproductive freedom for our loved ones, our friends, and our neighbors, and we will fight like hell every single day until Republicans heed the will of the people.

I would take these tweets more seriously if Governor Tony Evers actually wrote them. Prove me wrong.

Why on earth would Wisconsin Republicans pay any attention to the will of the people when partisan gerrymandering locks in a GOP legislative majority until the end of time?

It's not reproductive if you terminate the opportunity to reproduce. Holy crap 🤦
