Wisconsin’s Window of Opportunity for LIFE Has Arrived

Wisconsin’s Window of Opportunity for LIFE Has Arrived

 

On Tuesday, 9/22, the Senate Committee on Human Health and Service held a public hearing on Senate Bill 260 (companion AB 305 – bans the sale and use of the body parts and tissues of aborted babies) Senate Bill 237 (companion AB 310 – redirects about $7.5 million annually of taxpayer money away from Planned Parenthood of WI), and Senate Bill 238 (companion AB 311 – bans family-planning centers from overbilling the state for drugs they dispense). WFA attended the hearing and testified in favor of the bills along former Iowa Planned Parenthood manager Sue Thayer and Alliance Defending Freedom Attorney Natalie Decker who specializes in exposing Planned Parenthood’s fraud and abuse.

“If for no other reason than good financial stewardship these bills should move quickly through the state legislature, “says Julaine Appling, WFA president, “Sadly, Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) has claimed there are not enough votes in the Assembly to schedule a vote on AB 305/SB 260, the ban on sale and use of baby body parts and tissue for research. Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) disagrees and has said ‘you either believe that it’s OK to procure baby body parts from abortions or not.” We agree.

We are calling on Republican leadership in both the Assembly and the Senate, as well as Governor Walker, to fully support these proposals without compromise. It’s time that Planned Parenthood of WI stops receiving tax dollars from Wisconsin’s hardworking families. It’s time to stop the shenanigans.”

Here is what you can do to help.

Right now we have a golden window of opportunity in Wisconsin to tell legislators what we think about these bills and how we, as constituents, want them to take action.
