What would Wisconsin be like if pro-abortion leaders led the state legislature?

Wisconsin has been very fortunate to have a pro-life governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general for the past few years. In addition, Wisconsin has pro-life majorities in both houses of the state legislature.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the roles were reversed? If, instead, we had pro-abortion leaders in Madison?

Well, we don’t have to wonder. Several bills were recently introduced in the legislature by the pro-abortion minority at the state capitol which give us a clear picture of how quickly abortion would expand if abortion advocates were in power.

What are these bills?

Assembly Bill 970 would force pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion advocates.

Assembly Bill 969 would, based on the mere perception of abortion advocates, potentially criminalize the advertising of pro-life pregnancy resource centers.

Assembly Bill 880 would not only repeal almost every pro-life law that we have fought so hard for in our state, it would create a phony right of conscience and force all physicians to perform abortions at religiously-affiliated hospitals.

Assembly Bill 916 would repeal Wisconsin’s long-standing statute outlawing abortions in our state. When Roe v. Wade is someday overturned, this statute means that abortions would immediately be illegal in Wisconsin — something abortion advocates clearly don’t want.

Thanks to our pro-life majorities and pro-life governor, it is unlikely these bills will become law.

But abortion advocates are like wolves waiting outside our door. Please help us keep them away.
