Why everyone should care about the new liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Barring that possibility, the court will be able to ensure that abortion remains legal in Wisconsin following the Supreme Court's decision last year to overturn the decades-long precedent established in Roe v. Wade as part of its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
46% : But the GOP-controlled state legislature, which has repeatedly sent anti-abortion bills to Evers's desk, has rejected that call.
41% : She made the issue a centerpiece of her campaign, saying in one advertisement that she supports "a woman's freedom to make her own decision on abortion."
36% : Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has said he will not enforce the ban, though he can't stop local law enforcement officials from doing so.
30% : It later turned out that abortion was one of the top issues driving the results of the midterms: Democrats running on pro-abortion rights nearly swept the table in 2022, and every ballot initiative aimed at restricting abortion lost, while ballot initiatives strengthening abortion rights prevailed and even outperformed Democratic candidates in some cases.
