Wisconsin's Supreme Court struck down a 176-year old state law Wednesday, one that classified performing an abortion as a felony, except in the case of saving the mother's life.
Abortions within the first 22 weeks of pregnancy have already been taking place in Madison, Milwaukee, and Sheboygan, but now all abortions in Wisconsin are legal up to the point of fetal viability, considered to be approximately 20 weeks after conception.
The state's Supreme Court was divided with its four liberal justices in favor of repealing the state law.
