In his campaign against Democrat Caleb Frostman in the hotly contested special election for Senate District 1, Rep. André Jacque has been hiding from his long, ultra-extremist record of undermining womens access to health care.
Jacque, the most strident anti-choice activist in the Assembly, has pushed legislation that would have seriously jeopardized health-care access for Wisconsin women including a law banning common forms of birth control.
No one in the Wisconsin legislature is more extreme on womens health issues than André Jacque, said Democratic Party of Wisconsin communications director Melanie Conklin. Jacque champions legislation that would have quite literally put Wisconsin womens lives at risk. His backwards and extreme ideas have no place in the state Senate.
Over the years, André Jacque has made it his mission to eliminate womens health-care options, taking stances so extreme it even caused fellow Republicans to distance themselves from him. As a state representative, Jacque introduced a constitutional amendment to make all abortions illegal with no exceptions for victims of rape and incest or women whose life was at a risk. Hes even voted to curb womens access to birth control, going so far as seeking to ban all forms of hormonal contraception.

This is a perfect example of him cramming his religion down other people's throats.

Ban hormonal birth control...what an ass. I'd laugh if I didn't know better, but I do; these fools think Handmaids Tale is an Instruction Manual.
