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, however, his voting record showed otherwise, as on the floor he voted against Amendment 76, which would have removed those exceptions.
No-Fault Divorce
In January 2025, Wesco introduced House Bill 1684, a bill which would end no-fault divorce for married couples with children. 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. The bill was withdrawn in February 2025.
