Wisconsin GOP Panics Over Abortion And Supreme Court Race
Earlier this month, I reported that abortion was going to play a major role in the upcoming election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Today, the Wisconsin GOP has officially hit panic mode about it.
The winner of the state supreme court will decide if the majority of the court leans towards the law and human decency or towards fascism. On one side, there is Judge Janet Protosiewicz, who has left no doubt that her values are that reproductive health care is up to a woman and her doctor. On the other side is Dan Kelly, a Christofascist who once wrote this about abortion:
Between 2012 and 2015, Kelly regularly contributed to a blog called "Hang Together" in which he laid out in detail — indeed, long and windy detail — his conservative views on a number of topics.
Abortion rights? Kelly said everyone knows this procedure "takes the life of an unborn child." But he said pro-choice groups still favor making abortion legal. "Why? To preserve sexual libertinism" — or, more bluntly, to let people have sex whenever they want.
