Dan Kelly (R) downplays his anti-abortion advocacy in his Wisconsin Supreme Court campaign
Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Dan Kelly has been downplaying his stance on reproductive rights and says he won’t be an activist judge, despite a long history of obvious anti-abortion sentiment.
In a blog post written by Kelly in 2013, he expressed his approval of the ruling in the Korte v. Sebelius Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals case, which was a challenge to the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act. The conservative court ruled to uphold a company’s right to restrict contraception coverage from their employee’s insurance plans due to this being on conflict to the owner of the company’s religious beliefs. Kelly also criticized a liberal justice for their dissenting opinion in the case.
Kelly has also been endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Right to Life and Wisconsin Family Action, all staunch anti-abortion organizations. In addition to believing abortion should be illegal in every case, Pro-Life Wisconsin wants to ban most contraception, birth control and in vitro fertilization.
In another one of Kelly’s blog posts, he said that abortion’s primary purpose is “harming children to preserve sexual libertinism.” The same post has Kelly saying, “An abortion, of course, involves taking the life of a human being. And everyone involved in the subject knows it.”
