PLANNED PARENTHOOD ASKS WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION:
(Wisconsin Public Radio) –
"Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will ask the Wisconsin Supreme Court to consider whether the state’s constitution protects a person’s right to abortion. The organization announced it is filing a petition with the court during a press conference on Thursday. [...] Matt Sande, legislative director at
Pro-Life Wisconsin, said his organization is watching the case. ‘Pro-Life Wisconsin has grave concerns that the Wisconsin Supreme Court will find a ‘right’ to abortion in our state constitution, thus overturning not only our current abortion ban, (state statute) 940.04, but all Wisconsin’s pro-life prohibitions and regulations enacted over the last forty years,’ Sande said in an
email."Read the full story here.
