MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican legislators in Wisconsin have quickly adjourned a special session that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called to repeal the state’s dormant abortion ban without taking any action. Evers called the Legislature into special session Wednesday to repeal the ban as the U.S. Senate President Chris Kapenga gaveled in and out in 14 seconds just after noon. Assembly Republicans gaveled in and gaveled out in 25 seconds. Wisconsin’s abortion ban has been in effect since 1849.
