MADISON, Wis. – A recent press release from her campaign and changes to her website show that right-wing judge and Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Maria Lazar’s desperation to hide her radical anti-abortion stance from Wisconsinites is mounting.
“No matter how hard Maria Lazar tries to bury her anti-abortion record of extremism from Wisconsinites, the facts don’t lie,” said Lucy Ripp, communications director at A Better Wisconsin Together. “Lazar is radically out of touch with Wisconsinites on abortion, and her record proves it.”
In a recent media interview, Lazar doubled down on her radical anti-abortion agenda by calling the overturning of Roe v. Wade “very wise.” Lazar then went on to imply how she may have ruled on a case preventing the use of an 1849 law as a near total abortion ban in Wisconsin, saying of a one-vote majority decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, “I don’t know that I would have been in the majority on that case …”
In fact, Lazar’s anti-abortion extremism is so public and brazen that it earned her endorsements from two of Wisconsin’s most radical anti-abortion groups, Pro-Life Wisconsin and Wisconsin Right to Life.
Pro-Life Wisconsin’s agenda includes banning all abortions in Wisconsin with no exceptions. They also support amending the Wisconsin constitution to, as experts have said, ban IVF and most common forms of birth control.
Lazar has also pushed an anti-abortion agenda in both state and federal court.
“Maria Lazar continues to embody the exact right-wing extremism that Wisconsin voters have rejected time and time again,” said Ripp. “No amount of desperate backtracking can change that.”
