Wisconsin supreme court race highlights abortion rights

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - In less than a month, voters in Wisconsin will decide who their next supreme court justice will be. This race has garnered a lot of attention around the state in part because of its connection to the future of abortion in Wisconsin.

“My thoughts on that are the same as my thoughts on every single issue that has come before the supreme court, or will ever come before the supreme court, and it is this, we are there to not answer political questions but legal questions,” said Daniel Kelly, one of the two nominees for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

His opponent Janet Protasiewicz on the other hand has been an open supporter of abortion rights according to her campaign.

Sarah Godlewski with Women Win Wisconsin said either way, this election will be consequential.

“The supreme court has big impact in our rights whether its with access to abortion to access even to drinking water,” said Godlewski.
