Late mailers slam conservative candidates
Two late election mailers from Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin separately slam DPI candidate Rose Fernandez and Supreme Court candidate Randy Koschnick.
The negative mailer on Koschnick shows a photo of a woman and a child with the question "Who will protect your rights on our state Supreme Court?" Inside, the headline reads "Randy Koschnick won't protect your rights" with text that reads "Koschnick is endorsed by an extremist group that wants to outlaw all abortions, even for victims of rape. ... Koschnick is affiliated with the Promise Keepers, a male supremacist group that opposes equal rights for women in the home and workplace."
It ends with an appeal to vote for Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, saying "She will stand up for you."
The mailer against Fernandez reads "Rose Fernandez wants to keep teens in the dark. ... Tony Evers will turn the light on in the classroom to make sure our teens have all the facts to make healthy decisions.
"This fact is clear: comprehensive sex education that includes information about abstinence and birth control helps prevent teen pregnancy and disease."
