The Wisconsin Senate on Wednesday passed a series of restrictive abortion measures that Gov. Tony Evers (D) has vowed to veto.

The measures included the so-called "born alive" legislation, which requires health care providers to give care to babies who survive abortion attempts. The GOP-led body passed the bill in a 17-14 vote, with nearly every Republican voting for it and every Democrat voting against it, The Associated Press reported.

GOP state Sen. André Jacque, who wanted stricter penalties in the bill, was the only Republican to join Democrats and vote against the legislation.

If it became law, the "born alive" bill would reportedly enforce criminal penalties on doctors who did not provide necessary medical care to babies who survived abortion attempts.
