Prohibiting performance of and funding or providing property for abortions and other services by certain employees and entities

What it would have done

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill prohibits an employee of the University of Wisconsin System or the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority from, while in the scope of his or her employment, performing or assisting in the performance of an abortion;

performing services at a private entity where abortions are performed that is not a hospital; or training or receiving training in performing abortions. Additionally, the UW System and the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority are prohibited under the bill from using funds or property to provide liability protection for or enter into any type of agreement for employees to perform any of those activities that the bill directly prohibits employees from performing. For purposes of these prohibitions, an abortion, as defined under current law, is the use of a substance or device with intent to terminate the pregnancy of a woman known to be or for whom there is reason to believe may be pregnant and with intent other than to increase the probability of a live birth, to preserve the life or health of the infant after live birth, or to remove a dead fetus.
