The liberals have ignored the people of this state and legalized same-sex.

Chapter 770 of the Wisconsin Statutes, which establishes domestic partnerships and grants same-sex couples some legal protections.
1. "Spousal" privilege, whereby domestic partners don't have to testify against their partner in court.
2. Domestic partners can file a lawsuit for the wrongful death of a partner.
3. A deceased person's estate will default to his or her partner when a will cannot be found.
4. Some health-care plans, namely those for state employees, are to allow a same-sex partner as a dependent.
5. Allows partners visitation rights in hospitals and the ability to view health records.
6. Power of attorney for financial, property and health issues.
7. Real estate transfer fees are waived between partners.
8. People can go on family and medical leave to take care of their partner.
