Here's Your Monday Update

NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
FOR ABORTED CHILDREN

The National Day of Remembrance for aborted Children was observed in various locations throughout the state this past Saturday, including Cedarburg, Green Bay, Menasha, Milwaukee, and Phillips. In Milwaukee, 51 individuals were in attendance and dignitaries State Rep Chuck Wichgers (R-Mukwonago), Deacon Joe Senglaub, Father John Baumgardner, and Dan Zeidler were among them. The humanity and dignity of these babies resting in Holy Cross Cemetery were affirmed not only in 1984 and 1988 when they were given a proper Christian burial, but still today as they are honored. We thank the Archdiocese of Milwaukee for giving them a home until Christ’s return.

Pro-Life Wisconsin State Director, Dan Miller, mentioned before a minute of silence that if we were to give but one second to remember all 63 million babies who have died from abortion in America, that would take two full years.

Don’t wait until next year to remember these babies who were retrieved from a dumpster and the business end of a loading dock in northern Illinois. You can go and be with them any time! Cemeteries are holy ground and a perfect place to go pray. Many thanks to those who spent just one hour this past Saturday to remember the 1,286 aborted babies interred there.

We look forward to greeting you at our annual Love for Life Gala on Saturday, October 23, where we will welcome keynote speaker and abortion survivor, Claire Culwell.

When Claire met her birth mother in 2009, she was told about the attempted abortion meant to take her life and the subsequent survival of her and her twin. Claire was adopted into a loving family and says that finding out she survived an abortion never changed who she knew she was: wanted, chosen, and loved. Claire shares a hopeful message of forgiveness, redemption, and truth – exposing the humanity of the preborn baby and how abortion hurts women. Claire is an internationally known pro-life speaker and author.

Thank you in advance for your heroic defense of the preborn by supporting us through this event. We thank you, the babies thank you, and most importantly, “Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.” St. Matthew 25:40

With 1,791 of these plates on cars in the Badger State, sales have resulted in a total of nearly $100,000 which has been granted to over twenty-five Wisconsin pregnancy resource centers in a little over two years.

Higgins’ support for a range of anti-life and anti-family laws that run contrary to the Catholic faith [The Irish president has signed two abortion bills into effect in Ireland, as well as laws allowing same-sex 'marriage' and easier access to divorce]” Read the full story here.

PASTOR BOB ENYART: A MAN WHO LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR THE BRETHREN: (LifeSiteNews, by Gualberto Garcia Jones) – “What are you willing to die for? My friend Pastor Bob Enyart laid down his life last Sunday afternoon for love, love of the preborn child made in the image and likeness of God. St. John tells us in his Gospel, ‘In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren (1 John 3:16).’ Pastor Bob refused to inject himself with the abortion-tainted vaccines and successfully fought the state authorities so that he could protect the dignity of preborn children and the freedom of his church to remain open and of his congregation to worship God in accordance with their conscience.” Read the full blog here.

SCIENTISTS WILL CREATE UNBORN BABIES WHO ARE PART HUMAN, PART ANIMAL FOR RESEARCH: (LifeNews.com, by David Prentice, Ph.D.) – “As we expected, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) issued its revised guidelines on stem cells and embryo experiments at the end of May 2021, and as expected, the ISSCR recommendations are rife with proposed experiments on young human beings. The new guidelines discard the 14-day limit on human embryo experiments in favor of no limits whatsoever, and they allow virtually unrestricted manufacture of human-animal chimeras of any type, as well as creation of genetically altered human embryos and lab constructed human embryo ‘models.’” Read the full story here.

And the local Christians of Wisconsin are committed: they will continue to gather for what they are calling Heal Our Land Holy Hours every Thursday from May 13 until October 7th.
