Pro Life Wisconsin Denies Green Endorsement

Tucked away in C3 of today's Wisconsin State Journal, Pro-Life Wisconsin explains that it will not be making an endorsement in the governor's race because none of the candidates returned a survey sent out by the group.

According to the article: (Emphasis added)
Green campaign spokesman Luke Punzenberger said Green would try to fill it out before the Nov. 7 election but that the campaign receives numerous questionnaires.
You can bet your life that this was not a mistake or a case of being too busy. Republicans for the last 25 years have counted on this group being whipped up into a froth come voting time.

Could it be that Green could not "find the time" because of this? (Emphasis added)

Among other things, the Pro Life Wisconsin survey asked whether candidates would support legislation granting fetuses an "inalienable right to life from the moment of fertilization," banning abortion in all cases including rape, incest, and when the mother's life is in danger, and banning research using embyonic stem cells.
I've been on candidate screening committees before and the only candidates who do not fill out the surveys are those who know that they would never be endorsed or those who are hiding their positions. Which is it Rep. Green?

Wisconsin Right to Life and Pro Life Wisconsin are two different organizations.

He's right.

Pro Life Wisconsin is the more extreme one -- no abortions under any circumstances.

My mistake. The article quoted WRTL but the non endorsement was done by Pro-Life Wisconsin.
