I'll veto it. If Democrats bring you a bill that gets rid of the 20 week abortion ban, would you veto or sign that? I want a bill. I want abortion rights in Wisconsin that are decisions made by the women who are pregnant and facing that challenge and thinking about what's best for themselves and for their family and, and working with their doctors. That's the premise of the right way to approach abortion for the state of Wisconsin. So Democrats bring you that bill, gets rid of the 20 week abortion ban, allows abortion. (08:07–08:20)
