Representative Andre Jacque has authored a constitutional amendment to the Wisconsin constitution that, if adopted, will protect people at all stages of development, including those who are not yet born. If it is approved, the constitution will be amended to read<\/a>:<\/p>\n

All people are equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. As applied to the right to life, the terms \u201cpeople\u201d and \u201cperson\u201d shall apply to every human being at any stage of development.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The constitution, as currently written, protects only those who are born.<\/p>\n

According to Personhood Wisconsin, this amendment<\/a> \u201cseeks to end abortion in Wisconsin, not to regulate or restrict it.\u00a0 It seeks to end all violence toward preborn children in Wisconsin \u2013 surgical, chemical, experimental, etc. \u2013 at all stages of development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pro-Life Wisconsin reports<\/a> that Representative Andre Jacque is looking for co-sponsers to this proposed amendment. They encourage those from Wisconsin to call their state representatives and senators and ask them to\u00a0co-sponsor LRB 0130\/1, also known as the \u201cWisconsin Personhood Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to become part of the constitution, this amendment would need to be<\/a> adopted by two successive legislatures and then ratified by the people of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
