Evers calls special session to overturn 1849 abortion ban, Michels would sign exceptions

This week's Midday podcast covers Gov. Tony Evers' call to convene a special session of the Legislature to take up a constitutional amendment to allow voters to pass legislation via referendum. Ever's promoted it as a way to overturn the state's 1849 abortion ban, but Republicans have signaled they won't back the measure. Since Evers' call, GOP gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels said he would sign a bill to create exceptions to the state's abortion ban for rape and incest.
