\"Wisconsin<\/p>\n

(The Center Square) \u2013 Wisconsin\u2019s pro-life groups are unified in telling the Wisconsin Supreme Court it is not the court\u2019s job to create a right to abortion.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Right to Life, Wisconsin Family Action and Pro-Life Wisconsin all filed a joint brief with the court that argues there is no right to abortion and add that if there is to be one, that decision is up to lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court is not the proper venue to create health and safety law nor the proper mechanism to add a constitutional amendment. The legislature is the proper body to weigh the policy considerations and create law, not the court,\u201d Wisconsin Family Action president Christine File said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinding a right to abortion in our state constitution, where there clearly is none, would be the most extreme form of legislating from the bench,\u201d Dan Miller, state director at Pro-Life Wisconsin, said. \u201cThe U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled in Dobbs that there is no federal constitutional right to abortion. Nothing in Wisconsin\u2019s constitution or the history of our state would remotely suggest such a right. We implore the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reject Planned Parenthood\u2019s radical and self-serving plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in February asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to decide if there is a right to abortion in the state.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court has accepted the case, and the filing from Wisconsin\u2019s pro-life groups is in response to that case.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty also filed a brief in the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no right to an abortion in Wisconsin\u2019s Constitution. No judge, justice, or lawyer should be creating policy for Wisconsinites out of thin air. Reversing Roe v. Wade through the Dobbs decision rightfully placed the abortion issue back where it should have been all along \u2013 in the halls of state legislatures,\u201d WILL Deputy Counsel Luke Berg said. \u201cThat\u2019s where the debate and conversation must remain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court is expecting responses from everyone involved in the case by today. The court has not said when it expects to hear oral arguments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
