.@RonJohnsonWI is an extreme anti-abortion Senator. While he tries to run and hide from his record, this is who he is:

#WISEN
Ron Johnson said he believes life begins at conception and in 2011, Johnson was a co-sponsor of a personhood bill. #WISEN americanindependent.com/anti-abortion-…
Johnson has co-sponsored a national ban on abortion at 20 weeks' gestation introduced by South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham six times, in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021. #WISEN
Johnson has joined other members of Congress in support of lawsuits aimed at restricting abortion rights.

➡️ 2020 in June Medical Services, L.L.C. v. Gee
➡️ 2021 in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization

#WISEN
In Dobbs, Johnson joined other GOP senators in urging the court to uphold the ban, which held no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
 
The court decision in Dobbs reversed its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade that had affirmed a constitutional right to abortion.
Ron Johnson sponsored the Life at Conception Act. #WISEN congress.gov/bill/112th-con…
Johnson said he was “not in favor” of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) recently introduced 15-week federal ban. But, Johnson clarified, only because it’s too soon. #WISEN jezebel.com/sen-ron-johnso…
While Wisconsinites have to drive 100s of miles out of state to access health care. Ron Johnson thinks the demise of Roe v. Wade will not produce “that big a change.” #WISEN msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
He said “people don’t like abortion restrictions in their state they can move” #WISEN
Ron Johnson has a history of opposing abortion in all cases, even rape, incest and the health of the mother. Many Wisconsinites are worried that rights we've had for generations are being taken away. #WISEN
We saw thousands and thousands of Wisconsinites become activists this summer as they took to the streets, called their family and friends, and demanded their rights back. #WISEN
With the future of reproductive rights on the line, it is more important than ever to elect candidates who will champion those rights and protect our health. #WISEN

Tim Michels has a long history with the anti-choice movement opposing abortion with no exceptions. Don’t let him fool you. He is a radical. Let's take a look at his history:

#WISGov #WBAdebate
Michels has consistently taken an extreme stance on a woman’s ability to make her own health care decisions.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Michels favors reversing Roe vs. Wade, the decision that legalized abortion, and he opposes abortion in all cases, including rape, incest and when the woman's health is at risk.” [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/31/04]

🧵from @PPAWIPresident following the revelation of Tim Michels’ belief that pregnancy in a 12-year-old girl following rape “was created by God.”

wpr.org/repeal-abortio…
"The truth about Tim Michels and his extreme beliefs about abortion are simply too disturbing to overlook. Women and girls have already been harmed by the criminal abortion ban Michels has repeatedly said he supports.
This ban is forcing women— including victims of rape and incest—to travel across state lines to access abortion care or be forced to carry pregnancies that put their health and lives at risk.
