Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down century-old abortion ban

Wisconsin's top state court ruled on Wednesday that an 1849 state law banning abortion in virtually all cases cannot be enforced, rejecting claims it had been revived after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling three years ago returned the authority to regulate abortion to individual states.
The ruling came as no surprise given that liberal justices control the court. One of them went so far as promising to uphold abortion rights during her campaign two years ago.
