2022 Elections: What does it mean to be “100% pro-life”?

Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC supports candidates for public office who demonstrate a commitment to protect preborn children – in all circumstances and at all stages of development – as full persons under the law. To be “100% pro-life” is to know that a human being begins at conception and to therefore understand that there may never be a legal exception to his or her inalienable right to life. Accordingly, it requires defending the preborn child conceived in rape, the preborn child whose mother’s life or health is perceived to be in danger,* the disabled preborn baby, and the tiny embryo vulnerable to experimental research. It requires establishing legal personhood (equality of all human beings before the law) for the preborn in our state constitution.

The Victory Fund PAC has held high the banner of total protection for all preborn children. Because we insist on this high standard, more and more candidates for elected office are 100% pro-life. We stand behind those candidates who stand behind 100% of the babies. We lovingly but firmly challenge and educate those candidates who don’t believe every child has a right to live. And we pray that our principled stand will change hearts and minds, within and without the state legislature, so that someday all of Wisconsin’s preborn children will be protected in law as persons.

*Pro-Life Wisconsin knows that abortion, defined as the direct and intentional killing of a preborn human being, is never medically necessary, and therefore supports equal care for mother and child.
