MADISON, Wis. – After an emotional debate, the state Assembly voted to make Wisconsin the first state in the country to move toward banning the so-called morning-after pill on state college campuses.
The Republican-controlled Assembly passed, 49-41, late Thursday a bill that would prohibit University of Wisconsin System health centers from advertising, prescribing or dispensing emergency contraception – drugs that can block a pregnancy in the days after sex. The bill goes to the state Senate.
