Political positions
Abortion
Wesco opposes abortion rights in almost all circumstances, including rape or incest. In a July 2022 state House debate for a bill that would ban abortion in Indiana, he argued that rape victims should not have access to abortion,[2] however, his voting record showed otherwise, as on the floor he voted against Amendment 76, which would have removed those exceptions.[3]
No-Fault Divorce
In January 2025, Wesco introduced House Bill 1684, a bill which would end no-fault divorce for married couples with children.[4][5] HB 1684 would require couples with children to prove their marriage is "irretrievably broken", either through witness testimony or both parties convincing a judge. It was criticized by domestic violence victim advocates as having the potential to make escaping abuse more difficult.[6][4] The bill was withdrawn in February 2025.[4]
