PRO-LIFE WISCONSIN AROUND THE STATE

Pro-Life Wisconsin attended the St. Croix County Fair and the Milwaukee County GOP Summer Picnic this weekend to share the 100% pro-life message with Wisconsinites. As always, our baby models were a hit among the youth as they learned about fetal development and the importance of protecting our preborn brothers and sisters.

At both events, we were able to promote our endorsed candidates and remind attendees to vote for 100% pro-life candidates in the upcoming primary election on Tuesday, August 9th. See the full list of Pro-Life Wisconsin endorsed candidates, here.

Thank you to all who stopped by our booths and to all our endorsed candidates who made it out for these events. If you would like Pro-Life Wisconsin to be at your next event, contact our Outreach Director at Corrie.C@ProLifeWI.org

2022 CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS
PRO-LIFE WISCONSIN VICTORY FUND PAC

View the Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC endorsed candidates on the Pro-Life Wisconsin website. The Victory Fund PAC has endorsed a total of fifty-seven candidates for state office in the upcoming fall primary and general elections. Included on the endorsement page is a message on what it means to be “100% pro-life.”Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC supports candidates for public office who demonstrate a commitment to protect preborn children – in all circumstances and at all stages of development – as full persons under the law. To be “100% pro-life” is to know that a human being begins at conception and to therefore understand that there may never be a legal exception to his or her inalienable right to life. Accordingly, it requires defending the preborn child conceived in rape, the preborn child whose mother’s life or health is perceived to be in danger, the disabled preborn baby, and the tiny embryo vulnerable to experimental research. It requires establishing legal personhood (equality of all human beings before the law) for the preborn in our state constitution.Paid for by the Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC, George Kriegl, Treasurer. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s agent or committee.

SIGN THE PETITION: DEMAND GOVERNOR EVERS AND ATTORNEY GENERAL KAUL ENFORCE WISCONSIN'S ABORTION LAW s.940.04

Since the United States Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24, 2022, which overturned Roe and Casey, Wisconsin’s 1849 criminal abortion ban, statute 940.04, has taken full effect. Wisconsin’s abortion providers, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and Affiliated Medical Services, are no longer performing abortions.

Yet on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul sued in Dane County Circuit Court to overturn Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban, arguing that s.940.04 has been superseded or impliedly repealed by Wisconsin’s post-Roe abortion regulations and is therefore unenforceable.

It is the job of our state’s top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Kaul, to enforce laws protecting human life, not sue to overturn them. Read Pro-Life Wisconsin's full statement here.

Sign the petition to demand that our elected leaders enforce Wisconsin’s pre-Roe criminal abortion statute 940.04 immediately.
