Wisconsin has made huge strides in the protection of unborn babies and mothers in our state. In just 2013 alone, our new lifesaving laws gave mothers more information about their unborn children and helped save 465 babies, who now sleep peacefully in their beds. But we still have far more work to do.

When asked what she would do with legislation that would “ban abortions after 20 weeks” (when unborn babies can feel pain), Burke responded, without a moment of hesitation,

“Yeah, I would veto it.”

Wisconsin women and unborn babies deserve better than a complete dismissal of any protection for pain-capable unborn children.

Wisconsinites should call Mary Burke immediately and urge her to support such important, lifesaving legislation. Lives depend on it.
