MADISON — Today, Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes, candidate for U.S. Senate, announced the “Ron Against Roe” tour, a tour holding Ron Johnson accountable for his record of working to rip away Wisconsinites’ ability to access abortion. Mandela will kick off the first leg of the tour on Saturday, October 1, in Green Bay with stops across the state to follow.
Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes released the following statement:
“It’s time for Ron Johnson to answer for his record of endangering women and fighting to strip them of their rights. He supported an abortion ban with no exceptions that could’ve put women and their doctors in jail. Ron can try to lie about his record, but Wisconsin voters know the truth – and we’ll hold him accountable for it in November.”
The first leg of the tour kicks off on Saturday, October 1, in Green Bay and will continue with details to come about stops including Milwaukee, Racine, Madison, and Eau Claire.
Ron Johnson is trying to hide his dangerous stance by lying to Wisconsin voters about his extreme record on abortion — but here’s the truth:
- Ron Johnson has co-sponsored eight national abortion bans during his time in the Senate.
- He fought to uphold Mississippi’s law banning abortion, which did not include exceptions for rape or incest.
- Johnson told Wisconsin women that if they didn’t like living under an 1849 abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest that they “can move.”
- Johnson has a long history of confirming judges that are staunchly opposed to reproductive freedom, including abortion and contraception access.
