Another radical abortion activist is heading to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Democrat appeals court Judge Chris Taylor won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, expanding the leftist majority on the state’s highest court to 5-2 and alarming pro-life advocates who fear further erosion of protections for unborn children.
Taylor defeated fellow appeals court Judge Maria Lazar in the race for a 10-year term, receiving about 60% of the vote to Lazar’s roughly 40% with most ballots counted, according to unofficial results.
Media outlets projected Taylor’s victory shortly after polls closed.
The open seat resulted from the retirement of conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley. Taylor’s win locks in liberal control of the court through at least 2030.
Taylor previously served nearly a decade as public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, where she helped the abortion business get more laws to let it kill more babies, and as a Democratic state legislator.
Her campaign received more than $100,000 from Planned Parenthood, and advertisements prominently featured her work with the abortion company. Taylor has described those pro-abortion values as “really deeply ingrained in me, not just because I worked for Planned Parenthood, but as a lawyer, as a former legislator, as a mother.”
As a legislator, Taylor opposed a bill that would have capped abortions at 20 weeks, arguing it was acceptable to end the lives of viable unborn babies. She voted against measures banning abortions based on the sex or disability of the unborn child and did not support legislation requiring care for infants born alive after failed abortions.
Pro-life leaders had warned that her record demonstrates a radical commitment to abortion on demand, including positions critics describe as supporting abortion up to birth.
Lazar charged that Taylor’s values include “abortion up to birth” along with other left-wing priorities she could not advance through the legislature. Lazar accused Taylor of seeking to “legislate from the bench.” Taylor rejected the activist label during a debate, saying, “I never have said I’m an activist, that I’m an advocate on the bench.”
Pro-life advocates expressed deep concern that Taylor’s deep ties to the abortion industry and her consistent legislative opposition to even modest protections for the unborn signal she would prioritize radical abortion activism over impartial justice on the Supreme Court.
Wisconsin Supreme Court races, though officially nonpartisan, have drawn national attention due to the court’s influence on issues including abortion.

Heartbreaking.
No one was even talking about this race.
10 years ago, everyone across the country would have been - every talk radio show, numerous posts on the conservative forums urging people get out to vote and to contact everyone you know in Wisconsin, etc.
Nothing said now. Our side pays no attention to these elections and the Left just chips away at our country under the surface.
Republicans are asleep at the wheel.
I don’t even have to look it up - many of us here could say the same. Prosser and Kloppenberg were the candidates. Kloppenberg declared victory when she actually had lost - more than enough votes were out to overturn the razor-thin margin yet she still had a press conference declaring victory and the vote totals probably shifted against her while her “victory” remarks were ongoing.
I remember that live thread on the election night...and we had been talking about that race regularly for weeks if not months - so were all of the talk shows.
I misspelled her name - apparently it is Kloppenburg - but just look at the volume of threads with just her name in the keywords:

That’s an illustration of how tuned in conservatives used to be to races like this.
ok, so Wisconsin is lost.
The abortion issue is the single biggest obstacle for conservatives getting into office. If we lose the republic, it will be because conservatives chose to die on this issue. And die will we all. Not just unborn babies.
