Dan Kelly wants abortion banned, even in cases of rape, incest, and the health of the mother being at stake.
Dan Kelly was endorsed by
Pro-Life Wisconsin

in 2020 and 2023.
Pro-Life Wisconsin only endorses candidates who support “personhood” theory. According to their website, Pro-Life Wisconsin only endorses candidates “who recognize the personhood of the preborn baby and hold the principled and compassionate no-exceptions pro-life position.” [PLW website, accessed 9/13/22]
Wisconsin Right to Life “endorses candidates who have pledged to champion pro-life values.” According to Wisconsin Right to Life’s endorsement page, “The Wisconsin Right to Life Political Action Committee endorses candidates who have pledged to champion pro-life values and stand with Wisconsin Right to Life’s legislative strategy.” [Wisconsin Right to Life, accessed 1/26/22]
Kelly was a lawyer for a
radical anti-abortion group
working to take away women's rights.
Wisconsin Right to Life Executive Director Heather Weininger wrote a letter of recommendation for Dan Kelly’s 2016 appointment to the Wisconsin Supreme Court detailing his work for the group.
According to Heather Weininger, Executive Director, Wisconsin Right to Life, “Dan is someone who I have known professionally for many years and who has provided great counsel to Wisconsin Right to Life in legal matters, as well as to a previous employer of mine, and has done great work with the Federalist Society of Wisconsin…” [Heather Weininger, Executive Director, Wisconsin Right to Life, 2016]
Kelly supports Wisconsin’s
1849 criminal abortion ban
that strips women of their freedom to make personal decisions on abortion.
