Planned Parenthood and Tom Barrett: Bad for Wisconsin

This Wednesday and Thursday, Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, will be the keynote speaker for two fundraisers for gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett.

Pro-Life Wisconsin will prayerfully and peacefully protest the bloody collaboration of Cecile Richards, Governor Jim Doyle (a Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin lifetime achievement award recipient) and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (endorsed by Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in the gubernatorial race).

“Does Tom Barrett really want Planned Parenthood’s blood on his hands?” asked Peggy Hamill, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “Planned Parenthood’s theme of ‘Moving Wisconsin Forward’ is disrespectful to the thousands of babies they kill every year, babies who will never ‘Move Forward’ in Wisconsin.”

“The communities in which these events will be held – at the homes of Planned Parenthood supporters – will not be able to ignore Planned Parenthood’s destructive agenda,” Hamill concluded. “I encourage all concerned citizens to join our Pro-Life Wisconsin staff, board and people from all over Wisconsin in these peaceful protests.”

Details are as follows:
