Kloppenburg calls out Bradley for still having extreme views
Justice under fire for 90s articles
criticizing abortion and gays
Justice Rebecca Bradley says she has changed her views since writing controversial comments about abortion and homosexuals 20 years ago at Marquette.
Backers of the Supreme Court Justice, including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, claim Bradley’s writings as a college student are irrelevant to her record as a judge.
Appeals judge JoAnne Kloppenburg, who is running against Bradley in the April, disagrees, of course.
She says Bradley made comments in the last 15 years that suggest she still has extreme opinions.
“In the mid 2000s, just a few years before she was first appointed by Governore Walker for the circuit court, she wrote a published article in which it appears that she equated contraception with murder,” said Kloppenburg, who was campaigning in La Crosse today.
Bradley has been under fire this week for columns she wrote in the 90s as a Marquette student, criticizing abortion, gays, and former President Bill Clinton.
