The Wisconsin Department of Justice has again denied an open records request for a threat assessment on pro-life activity in Wisconsin.
In February 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Middleton Police Department improperly shared a Homeland Security assessment prepared by the federal agency that targeted pro-life activities in Wisconsin.
“The threat assessment concerned free speech at a University of Wisconsin hospitals and clinics meeting in Middleton, Wisconsin, at which a vote was taken to approve a late-term abortion facility at the Madison Surgery Center on the UW-Madison campus,” explains Peggy Hamill, state director for Pro-Life Wisconsin.

It is known that the shared report focused partly on members of the Madison pro-life community, and Hamill laments that “it’s disconcerting that law enforcement agencies refuse to release the reports on U.S. citizens that have been gleaned about them for a peaceful activity, which…is totally in accordance with the law.”
Concerned Women for America (CWA) told OneNewsNow last year that the intention of such investigations is to frighten and intimidate members of pro-life groups into halting their activities.
The Pro-Life Wisconsin state director warns that stifling free speech is a slippery slope because “those who defend the pre-born are not second-class citizens.”
