ICYMI: Supporting Abortion Rights Wins Elections (Again)
For Immediate Release: April 5, 2023
Washington, D.C. — Last night’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election results are yet another example of the electoral power around abortion rights. Voters knew the stakes and turned out in historic numbers to elect Judge Janet Protasiewicz because of her values and public support for reproductive health care. As Planned Parenthood Action Fund president Alexis McGill Johnson said, “Judge Janet Protasiewicz's victory is especially critical as the legality of the state's archaic 1849 criminal abortion, which has forced Wisconsinites to leave the state for abortion care or to remain pregnant against their will, is likely to make its way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
Abortion rights won. But don’t just take our word for it:
