AB458/SB324 passes Senate and Assembly in one fell swoop

With lightening speed, Planned Parenthood's alleged advocate, Sen. Lena Taylor, had her hopes and dreams fulfilled yesterday as the Senate passed the UN"Healthy Youth Act" with one amendment, then shot it to the Assembly for a rapid response and quick passage. The bill is now on its way to Governor Doyle's office. He is expected to place his rubber stamp of approval.

From the NRA-ILA:

Problems with "Micro-Stamping"

• "Micro-stamping" has repeatedly failed in tests.
• "Micro-stampings" are easily removed.
• Most gun crimes cannot be solved by "micro-stamping," or do not require "micro-stamping" to be solved.
• Most criminals get guns through unregulated channels.
• "Micro-stamping" would increase gun thefts, home invasions and burglaries, and expand the black market in guns..
• Most guns do not automatically eject fired cartridge cases.
• Only a small percentage of guns would be "micro-stamped."
• Most violent crimes don't involve guns. According to the FBI, 3/4 of violent crimes, including 1/3 of murders and 3/5 of robberies, are committed without guns.⁹
• "Micro-stamping" would waste money better spent on traditional crime-fighting and crime-solving efforts.
• "Micro-stamping" would expose police departments to lawsuits if officers fired "unsafe handguns."

Testifying at Senate Hearing on AB458

AB458 passes tonight 48-43 - Get ready for ROUND TWO

Planned Parenthood has effectively trampled on Your values and Your rights tonight.

It should now be clear: Planned Parenthood has a solid grip on the Wisconsin State Legislature after targeting many pro-life legislators for elimination in the last two elections.

The final vote on Passage of Assembly Bill 458 was 48 to 43 - straight party-line vote with the Democrats voting in lock step with Planned Parenthood's extreme agenda and the Republicans plus Pro-Life Democrat Bob Ziegelbauer voting in support of Wisconsin's teens, parents, school districts, and taxpayers.
