Article PhotoMADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker quietly signed a contentious Republican bill Friday that would require women seeking abortions to undergo an ultrasound and ban doctors who lack admitting privileges at nearby hospitals from performing the procedures.
Opponents contend legislators shouldn't force women to undergo any medical procedure and the bill will force two abortion clinics where providers lack admitting privileges to shut their doors. The law takes effect Monday. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit within hours of the signing alleging the bill is unconstitutional and asking for a temporary restraining order blocking the measure.
"What the Legislature has done is to set up a system where the ability to provide abortions is contingent on the decision of a private institution and that's unconstitutional," Planned Parenthood's attorney, Lester Pines, said in an interview.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Justice, which defends state laws, said agency attorneys would review the lawsuit and respond in court.
not quite there yet but the lying in the Koch back pocket Wis. gov. is trying to like the rest of his kind deny women the benefit of contraceptive care a well as the never mentioned by them while seeking to lock the doors, breast and cervical scans, pap smears and all the things that potentially threaten women's health. 
nope just abortion, that's how an anal retentive thinks.
The bill is part of a broad GOP push to dramatically curtail abortions nationally.
North Dakota's governor, Republican Jack Dalrymple, signed a law this spring that outlaws abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, making North Dakota the most restrictive state in the nation to get an abortion. The state's lone abortion clinic has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block the law.
Republicans in Arkansas this spring passed a law that bans most abortions after 12 weeks. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas and the Center for Reproductive Rights. A federal judge has temporarily blocked that law. A trial has been tentatively scheduled for next year.
note again no mention of the many other services provided by these places just abortion, where are republican women have they all already had hysterectomies or are to old seems like they give less than gnat crap or maybe there's a backdoor doctor for republican women only, cause they sure pursue this atrocity against their own with impunity.
