Opposition to abortion is one thing, but to put women’s lives in peril to achieve that ideological goal over a perfectly legal medical procedure is nothing short of outrageous.
The recent high court ruling on class-action lawsuits makes organizing more urgent.

Are Republican states the most socialistic?
Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Action joins RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson to discuss the Family Prosperity Index.
When will Wisconsin GOP leaders step up and accept their share of the blame for the crisis Walker just discovered?
In May, Trump’s dark-side gift to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, penned a major decision that should galvanize the American public to change Congress in 2018 in favor of the Democrats.
One great thing about Wisconsin’s open records law is that it’s not supposed to matter who wants records or why.
We have always been innovative in Wisconsin. It is time for the University of Wisconsin to declare itself an Entrepreneurial University and launch societal engagement and economic development as part of its mission. Aligned we can live and share the Wisconsin Idea and make Wisconsin a promoter of innovation for generations to come.
Gubernatorial candidate Kelda Roys got the most votes in a straw poll at the Democratic Party’s state convention last weekend. But she’s been out of state office for a few years now. In today’s anti-incumbent climate, that should work in her favor.
I’m proposing we relocate the headquarters of most government agencies out of D.C. and into real America, where bureaucrats and career government workers can get in touch with the people they’re supposed to be serving.
Fret not, our exceptionalism when it comes to guns may soon change. The Trump administration is considering a new rule to make it easier for American gunmakers to export their wares to other countries. Just what the world needs.
In their decision siding with a Colorado baker, justices avoided the big question — where to draw a line between religious liberty and anti-discrimination laws.
Potholes are real. Deteriorating bridges are real. Wrecked axles and other unexpected repairs are real. I agree with former Secretary Gottlieb, it’s time we have an honest conversation about how to fix transportation.
ur older communities should not have to keep fighting for the basic structures Wisconsin currently has to help our older adults, the Legislature should be expanding them.
Justice Shirley Abrahamson who joined the high court in 1976 and led the court for years, won’t be running for another term.
Put it all together, and the numbers don’t lie—Wisconsinites are right to support the tax cuts. Politicians looking to make it a wedge issue in the Badger State should beware.
In a 7-2 decision released on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Colorado baker Jack Phillips, who in 2012, citing religious objections, refused to provide a cake for a gay wedding in the state. At the time, Colorado did not recognize same-sex marriages, and the Supreme Court had not yet issued its landmark opinion essentially legalizing same-sex marriages across America.
There was a time when Sir Thomas More was celebrated in Western Civilization for his refusal to violate his conscience and acknowledge the legitimacy of the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Now, not only would More lose his livelihood and his life, the mob would demand he make Henry’s wedding cake before being beheaded.
A pair of statewide groups that have built on the energy of the 2016 campaign of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who won 56 percent of Wisconsin’s primary vote and carried 71 of 72 counties — are trying to clarify the competition.
