Public debate reignites over reproductive freedom via Wisconsin's Supreme Court race
The only scheduled debate for this year’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race is set for Wednesday night at Marquette University. Abortion is expected to be one of the controversial topics discussed. The issue has already reignited strong feelings on reproductive rights.
Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz frequently mentioned her support for abortion rights during her successful 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election against Dan Kelly. That victory shifted control of the court to liberal justices for the first time in about 15 years.
Now, as liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley retires, Dane County Judge Susan Crawford is also making reproductive freedom a key part of her bid to succeed Bradley. Crawford often criticizes the views of her opponent, Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel.
“He is the guy, who supports an 1849 law as a criminal ban on abortion," Crawford said last month in Milwaukee.
