Yet another Planned Parenthood attorney is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor, a former attorney and public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, announced her candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, setting the stage for a high-stakes 2026 election against conservative incumbent Justice Rebecca Bradley.

Taylor’s candidacy has drawn attention from pro-life advocates, who express concern over her ties to the abortion industry and her stated commitment to advancing abortion, even as the court prepares to hear a case that could enshrine abortion as a constitutional right in Wisconsin.

Taylor, a former Democrat state legislator, emphasized her advocacy for abortion in her announcement.

“My values are that women and families should have the ability to make their most personal, private health care decisions,” Taylor told Wisconsin Public Radio.

In reality, Taylor is just an abortion activist.

Her background includes working as the public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin before her tenure in the state Assembly from 2011 to 2019 and her subsequent judicial roles. Pro-life groups argue this history raises questions about her impartiality in abortion-related cases, especially as the Wisconsin Supreme Court is set to review a Planned Parenthood challenge seeking to establish abortion as a state constitutional right.

The election follows the recent victory of another former Planned Parenthood attorney, Susan Crawford, who secured a seat on the court in April 2025, solidifying its 4-3 liberal majority. Crawford, who represented Planned Parenthood in efforts to overturn a 2011 law requiring abortionists to have hospital admitting privileges, stated she would not recuse herself from abortion-related cases.

Taylor has similarly indicated she may not step aside from such cases, despite her advocacy work, telling WPR she applies the law fairly based on the facts of each case.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is becoming a battleground for abortion policy. Judges with deep ties to Planned Parenthood, an organization that kills 400,000 babies in abortions annually, risk undermining public trust in the court’s impartiality on life-and-death issues.

Justice Rebecca Bradley, who announced her re-election bid in April 2025, has positioned herself as a defender of constitutional principles and the rule of law.

A conservative appointed to the court in 2015 by then-Gov. Scott Walker, Bradley won a full 10-year term in 2016.

The 2026 race, while not poised to shift the court’s ideological balance as the 2025 election did, could widen the liberal majority to 5-2 if Taylor unseats Bradley. The contest is expected to draw significant outside spending, following the 2025 race, which became the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history with over $100 million spent.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on Planned Parenthood’s challenge, expected before the new justice is seated in August 2026, could reshape the state’s abortion landscape. Pro-life advocates warn that a court with multiple justices tied to Planned Parenthood may prioritize ideological agendas over legal objectivity.
