WATCH: Wisconsin Supreme Court Debate

Published | Video Starts at 09:36

The state supreme court has ruled on abortion. It is final. It's a 20 week compromise. And I've said as a judge that I will respect and honor that. My opponent, when she was a legislator, when she tried to pass over 243 bills and only six passed, one of them was about abortion and she wanted it to be abortion at any time during the entire pregnancy. So when I tell you that I'm respecting the 20 week compromise and the rules have been set in Wisconsin, they are set. Abortion is not on the ballot. (09:36–09:51)

CLAIM
