The Republican running for governor in Wisconsin suggested Tuesday that he would not enforce the swing state's near-total ban on abortions, saying “I will never arrest a doctor.”
Tim Michels is locked in a tight race with Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and abortion has been a major issue. Michels, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, said in the Republican primary that he backed a state law dating to 1849 that makes it a felony for doctors to perform nearly all abortions.
