MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, Heartland Signal reported on Amy Binsfeld’s extreme anti-abortion record—from endorsing a “crisis pregnancy center” that pushes dangerous and unregulated “abortion reversal” treatments to supporting a 6-week abortion ban in Wisconsin.

Amy Binsfeld is no stranger to peddling dangerous lies around women’s reproductive health care. In 2022, Amy Binsfeld said that she is a “fan of” banning abortion at 6 weeks, and open to banning abortion at conception. Her voting record reaffirms her extreme stance: Binsfeld voted against overturning Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban that made no exceptions for rape and incest, against protecting IVF treatment, and against guaranteeing a right to contraception.

Heartland SignalWisconsin GOP State Rep. Amy Binsfeld Endorsed Pregnancy Center that Promotes Discredited Abortion Reversal Treatment

  • A Facebook post from last December shows Wisconsin state Rep. Amy Binsfeld (R-Sheboygan) supporting Anchor of Hope Health Center, a crisis pregnancy center in Sheboygan that promotes experimental and discredited abortion-reversal treatments.
  • The post shows Binsfeld present while staff from Anchor of Hope accepted a $3,600 check from Choose Life Wisconsin, an anti-abortion organization that assists pregnancy resource centers.
  • There are no scientifically proven ways to “reverse” medication abortions. The process of abortion pill reversal is highly contested by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for its lack of ethical research and dangers to women’s health. In 2020, a clinical trial studying the attempts to reverse the effects of mifepristone had to be stopped after three women had to receive emergency room care from profuse bleeding.
  • In 2019, Wisconsin Republicans attempted to pass a bill which would have required doctors to inform patients that are seeking abortion services about the experimental abortion reversal treatment.
  • Binsfeld took office in the Wisconsin state Assembly in January 2023, where she was one of the co-sponsors of an attempted 14-week abortion ban. She also voted down an effort to establish a right to contraception in Wisconsin.
  • After new legislative maps were drawn, Binsfeld will run to represent the newly drawn 26th District, which is projected to be very competitive in November. She will face former superintendent of the Sheboygan Area School District Joe Sheehan.
