Last Thursday, Wisconsin Right to Life, Wisconsin Family Action, and Pro-Life Wisconsin joined together to block Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s pursuit to find a right to abortion in the Wisconsin Constitution. The pro-life organizations are petitioning the state supreme court to allow them to intervene in the case brought by Planned Parenthood and are being represented by The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and the Thomas More Society.

There is no right to abortion in the Wisconsin Constitution. Planned Parenthood is asking the court to wrench the state constitution to find a right to “self-determination” which includes in their argument a right to abortion. If the court accepts this case, hopefully the justices will also allow these groups to intervene.
