- Verification Source #2: Supports the claim that the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court could strike down the 176-year-old ban.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- Verification Source #1, #2, and #4 all support the existence of a 176-year-old law related to abortion in Wisconsin and the potential or actual impact of the Supreme Court.

- Verification Source #5 (Table of Laws Held Unconstitutional) is not directly relevant to the specific claim about the Wisconsin abortion ban.
