SC candidate Lazar (R): I am not trying to change Wisconsin's abortion law [View all]

(The Center Square) – One of the candidates for supreme court in Wisconsin continues to want to take abortion out of the conversation for this spring’s election.

Judge Maria Lazar this week penned another op-ed explaining her stance on Wisconsin’s 20-week abortion law.

“Sensationalized headlines have twisted my comments to suggest I am seeking to change Wisconsin’s abortion laws. Let me be clear: I am a jurist, not a politician. I am not running to impose a heartbeat bill from the bench, and any insinuation to the contrary is false,” she wrote.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last week ran a story that said Lazar would be open to a heartbeat bill. She was speaking with students at UW-Whitewater in November.
