Thanks, Elon

I'm actually serious here. 

 It appears that Elon Musk's botched attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court election has resulted in the formal legalization of abortion in the Badger State.

It appears that the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy's™ skills in over-promising and under-delivering finally led to something good.

Much better than things like "Full Self Driving" where his lies actually kill people:

A divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed abortions to continue in the state, blocking a 19th-century law that for a time effectively banned the procedure in nearly all instances.

The ruling is a victory for abortion rights advocates — who helped flip the elected court’s ideological makeup in 2023 — and puts protections for the procedure on firmer footing. It represents a setback for abortion opponents in the swing state, who had hoped Wisconsin would join the states that limited or banned the procedure after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.

Health care providers in Wisconsin temporarily stopped offering abortions after that decision three years ago in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended a constitutional right to abortion in the United States. The providers said they feared they could be prosecuted in Wisconsin under an 1849 law that has been widely viewed as banning most abortions.

………

On Wednesday, liberals who control the court invalidated the 1849 law. The decision fell along ideological lines, with the four liberal justices in the majority and the court’s three conservatives dissenting.

The ruling means health care providers can continue to offer abortions until 20 weeks post-fertilization, with the only exception after that point in pregnancies being cases in which the patient’s health is at risk. Wisconsin mandates an ultrasound and a 24-hour waiting period before most abortions.

The state continues to limit medication abortions by requiring that providers dispense abortion pills in person and that patients go for a follow-up visit after taking the medication.

………

The high court upheld [Dane County Judge Diane] Schlipper’s finding that abortion is legal in Wisconsin but used different reasoning. The majority concluded the 1849 law had banned nearly all abortions but determined the legislature had functionally repealed it through post-Roe measures addressing “every aspect of abortion including where, when, and how healthcare providers may lawfully perform abortions,” Justice Rebecca Dallet wrote for the majority.

“That comprehensive legislation so thoroughly covers the entire subject of abortion that it was clearly meant as a substitute for the 19th century near-total ban on abortion,” she wrote.

Now, how about Wisconsin Democrats trying to reverse the restrictions on abortion listed above.

We know that criminalizing abortion is  electoral poison almost everywhere in the United States.  

Make Wisconsin Republicans drink that Kool-Aid. (Actually, at Jonestown, the drank Flavor-Aid, but I degress)
