40.56

This repeal removes the requirement for county departments to distribute specific materials related to abortion.
253.095

~~No physician may perform an abortion, as defined in s. 253.10 (2) (a), unless he or she has admitting privileges in a hospital within 30 miles of the location where the abortion is to be performed.~~

This repeal removes the requirement for physicians to have admitting privileges to perform an abortion.
253.107 (1) (b)

~~Any person, other than the mother, who intentionally destroys the life of an unborn child may be fined not more than $10,000, imprisoned for not more than six years, or both.~~

Every health care coverage plan offered by the state under sub. (6) and every health care coverage plan offered by the group insurance board under sub.
