SHOT:
New York Times: “In the days after the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the 50-year-old precedent, Republicans in Congress have notably refrained from taking a victory lap for having helped to install the conservative majority that has paved the way for such an outcome…Republicans appear determined to recast their position on the issue as one of moderation and avert the gaze of voters away from their anti-abortion-rights agenda.”
CHASER:
Politifact: “Sen. Rick Scott, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, himself co-sponsored a bill in Congress, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, that would impose a prison sentence of up to five years.”
Johnson Signed On As An Original Co-Sponsor Of The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. In January 2021, Johnson was an original co-sponsor of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. [S.61, Co-sponsored 1/27/21, Introduced 1/27/21]
LIME:
AP: “Sarah Godlewski recorded the ad in Washington, D.C., outside of the U.S. Supreme Court after the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn the landmark 1973 abortion that legalized abortion nationwide’” [May 5, 2022]
TRANSCRIPT (WATCH THE AD HERE)
Sarah Godlewski: I’m Sarah Godlewski. I’m at the Supreme Court, where it looks like Ron Johnson is gonna get exactly what he wants. Overturning Roe v Wade. Reinstating Wisconsin’s cruel abortion ban. And putting doctors in jail.
But that’s not what Wisconsinites want. We don’t want politicians making health care choices for women.
I’m Sarah Godlewski, and I approve this message because as your Senator, I will never sit by and allow our rights to be stripped away. Join me. Let’s fight back and defeat Ron Johnson.
