Looking to Elect a Right-to-Life Governor? Tom Barrett is NOT Your Guy!
Pro-abortion Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is the Democratic candidate for Governor of Wisconsin for the November 2, 2010 election. After enduring eight long years of consistently anti-life actions by retiring Governor Jim Doyle, right-to-life citizens long for change. They won’t find it in Tom Barrett!
Viewed as a “nice guy,” Barrett is as nasty as Doyle when it comes to abortion. Barrett compiled a lengthy hard-core pro-abortion voting record when he served in the State Assembly, State Senate and House of Representatives.
Barrett State Legislative Record Highlights (1984 – 1992)
Voted in favor of taxpayer funding of abortion referrals. Voted against protecting the unborn child of a pregnant woman on life supports. Voted against the right-to-life position on 53 out of 55 votes.
Barrett Congressional Legislative Highlights (1992 – 2004)
Voted against the Child Custody Protection Act which would have made it a federal crime to take a minor across state lines to have an abortion to keep the abortion secret from her parents. Voted against a ban on performing abortions at military hospitals. Voted against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, a federal law which allows prosecutors to charge a third party for death or injury to an unborn child. Voted against a ban on human cloning. Voted against the Mexico City Policy which prohibits the use of federal funds to promote or perform abortions overseas. Voted for taxpayer funding of abortions for federal employees. Voted against banning partial-birth abortions (2002 bill). To view Barrett's complete anti-life congressional voting record, go to Wisconsin Right to Life's My Election Central at wrtl.org
As Governor, Tom Barrett would mean business as usual and a continuation of Doyle’s anti-life legacy. This year, Wisconsin Right to Life will be engaged in a major mission to dispel the “nice guy” image Barrett has created and expose his ruthless record to ensure that unborn babies are unprotected and can continue to be killed.
