Court says “NO” to Abortionists;
Pro-Life Activists Vindicated



Pro-Life Wisconsin State Director Peggy Hamill released the following statement today in response to the Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling in Scheidler vs. NOW that racketeering laws cannot be used against pro-life demonstrators.

“Today’s ruling is a tremendous victory not only for pro-life advocates and preborn babies, but also for the fundamental right of free speech,” said Hamill. “Pro-Life Wisconsin is ecstatic that the Court rejected the radical position of abortionists who continually seek to silence any voice that does not accept abortion-on-demand."
