Abortion is front and center again as the 2024 presidential election cycle ramps up. Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has released an ad in targeted states, including Wisconsin, that basically says if he wins, abortion will be available without restriction. This means at least some abortions would be at taxpayer expense.

Biden supports the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act,” which pro-life opponents say is an extreme bill forcing abortion on demand on all 50 states, even late-term abortions. This bill was introduced earlier this year by its chief author, Wisconsin's junior US Senator Tammy Baldwin (D), who is also up for re-election in 2024.

This election cycle will require voters to have great discernment. Heated rhetoric is already flying from all candidates. Citizens should make sure they understand what candidates really believe on important issues such as life. As Christians, if we truly believe God is the author of life, can we really cast a vote for a pro-abortion candidate in good faith or in good conscience?

At the local level, Attorney General Josh Kaul (D) is doing his best to make sure the lawsuit challenging our pre-Roe abortion ban gets to the liberal Supreme Court sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, it has already become clear how the new 4-3 liberal majority will vote, and they aren't playing fairly.

After the newly liberal court terminated a longstanding court director, the chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court stated that the court's liberal justices have been and are continuing to orchestrate an "an unprecedented coup" and undermine the state's constitution in anticipation of a critical term that could determine the fate of Wisconsin's abortion ban, among a host of other critically important issues.

Meanwhile, five pro-lifers have just been found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act after trying to prevent women from obtaining abortions. The activists were immediately incarcerated and could face more than 10 years in prison for their efforts to save preborn babies. A Department of Justice press release states that the pro-life activists engaged in a "conspiracy" with the aim of obstructing access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic.

It's clear the devil is working hard to advance a pro-abortion agenda in Wisconsin and throughout the country. Now is the time for pro-lifers to double down. There is no greater cause than the preservation of human life, and we cannot back down now!
