Wisconsin’s Democratic attorney general filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the state’s 173-year-old abortion ban, arguing that statutes passed in the 1980s supersede the ban and it’s so old that modern generations never consented to it.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin welcomed people from all over the state to their convention in La Crosse this weekend. The reversal of Roe was a hot topic being discussed, just as the midterm elections creep up.

AG Josh Kaul on Saturday said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning the right to an abortion has made women less safe and put them in a position where they’re less free than they had been for decades.

Attorney General Josh Kaul said his office will not be prosecuting abortions.

In the wake of Friday's decision by the United States Supreme Court which overturned a nearly 50 year precedent set in Roe v. Wade and suddenly made abortion a states' rights issue, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said he's not planning to enforce the state's law from 1849 banning abortion.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul says his office is reviewing the United States Supreme Court ruling and plans to reveal more information next week.

"I'm committed with the Wisconsin Department of Justice to not to use any of our resources, either to investigate or prosecute anybody for violations of a 19th century abortion ban," Kaul said.

Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) announced today that Wisconsin has joined with 49 other states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the federal government to settle allegations of fraud against Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC (formerly known as Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), a U.S. subsidiary of the Irish pharmaceutical company Mallinckrodt plc (collectively Mallinckrodt), which sells and markets pharmaceutical products throughout the nation. The total value of the agreement is $233,707,865.18, plus interest, to be paid over a period of seven years. Of this amount, Wisconsin will receive $1,391,803.20, plus applicable interest.

On June 10, Steven R. Sharpe, 72, of Waterford, was sentenced to pay a monetary penalty of $39,531 and was banned from submitting such documents to the DNR for a period of three years, according to a news release Monday from the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Attorney General Josh Kaul says the suspect accused of shooting and killing retired Juneau County Judge John Roemer illegally possessed the firearm used in the killing.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) last week announced that a DOJ Investigation aided in the U.S. Department of Education’s (DOE’s) discharge of all remaining federal student loans borrowed to attend any campus owned or operated by Corinthian Colleges Inc. (Corinthian) from its founding in 1995 through its closure in April 2015. This will result in 560,000 borrowers receiving $5.8 billion in full loan discharges. In Wisconsin, 3,320 borrows will receive $36.2 million in full loan discharges.
