Roe v. Wade anniversary draws pro-life, pro-choice protests to capitol

By Jon Brockman | Jan. 22, 2019

In observance of the Roe v. Wade decision’s 46th anniversary, two groups of protesters braved the snow Tuesday morning to march on the capitol.  The Archdiocese of Madison, which organized the March for Life Wisconsin, fell short of their 300 person attendance goal, which spokesperson Brent King blamed on the weather. In addition to protesting abortion, King said the marchers wanted to bring attention to the “staggering costs of adoption” and encouraged the state legislature to enact a tax credit for families who adopt. Senator André Jacques, R-DePere, joined the marchers and voiced his support for the adoption credit plan.
