Wisconsin Right to Life Unveils New Recall Election Website With Videos Exposing Tom Barrett's Blatant Disregard for Life

The Wisconsin Right to Life PAC announces it's recall election website, the Wisconsin Right to Life Election Center. The website includes comprehensive information about all of the candidates running for Governor, Lt. Governor and the four State Senate races in contention on June 5.

The website includes dramatic videos exposing the deplorable record of Tom Barrett on issues affecting the sanctity of human life. "While in the state legislature and in Congress, Barrett had one of the worst right-to-life voting records we have ever seen," said Armacost. "These videos will be a real eye-opener to voters in Wisconsin when they are presented with the facts about Tom Barrett's blatant disregard for human life."

Pro-Life Federal Lawmakers Challenge Policy of Legal Abortion Until Birth in Our Nation's Capital!

It is appalling that babies can be legally aborted in this country even in the final months of pregnancy.  It is even more appalling when you realize the pain felt by the baby during this brutal act.

The National Right to Life Committee, Wisconsin Right to Life’s parent organization, is strongly supporting the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 3803) which had a public hearing on May 17 in the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution.  Wisconsin Right to Life also strongly supports this important life-affirming legislation.

Late-term abortions in the District are openly advertised.   One abortion clinic not far from the White House advertises abortion up to the beginning of the seventh month of pregnancy by the dilation and evacuation procedure where the baby is literally extracted limb by limb as the abortionist tears the baby apart.  This dismemberment procedure certainly is extremely painful for the little baby.  By the way, this place of horrors will complete this heinous act for money, but “checks and money orders are not accepted.”

Six states have enacted Pain-Capable laws — Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Georgia.   This type of legislation does not stop all abortions, but certainly takes the country in a new direction which is further recognition of the humanity of the unborn child.
