EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION

We’d like to thank the 45 people who came out on a gorgeous fall afternoon to pray for an end to abortion at the 40 Days for Life – Milwaukee Mid-Point Rally with special guests, Father John Baumgardner, Father Mike Malucha, and three members of the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard in full regalia. May God bless September, the 40 Days for Life – Milwaukee coordinator for organizing the event.

Everyone gathered at St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church at 2:00 p.m. and processed down to the abortion center praying and glorifying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. People came from Racine, Hartland, Milwaukee, Grafton, Brookfield, Cedarburg, West Allis, and beyond! Father John said a short prayer with the monstrance in hand as he stood facing the doorway of the abortion center. You could feel the electricity in the air. The spiritual battle between good and evil was palpable.

The Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign continues until October 31. Join us on the sidewalks!

PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE LIFE WISCONSIN PLATE, AND SAVE LIVES FROM ABORTION!

Choose Life license plates have been available to Wisconsin motorists since late October 2017. Pro-Life Wisconsin and Wisconsin Family Council partnered to underwrite all the administrative costs of Choose Life Wisconsin, which allows us to give every penny that comes from the sale of the plates to Wisconsin’s incredible pregnancy care centers!

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.

If you would like to be a part of the mission to save lives, get your Choose Life Wisconsin license plate today! For more information call Pro-Life Wisconsin at 262-796-1111 ext. 110.

PRO-LIFE WOMAN CONCEIVED IN RAPE EXPLAINS WHY SHE’S RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE: (LifeSiteNews) – “Many candidates for political office like to tell voters that they’re different, but when it comes to Kathy Barnette, there may actually be some truth to the statement […] Her mother, Mamie Jo, who was only eleven years old when she became pregnant, was a victim of rape, the gravity of which Barnette did not fully grasp until later on in life when she sought out her birth certificate to register for the Army Reserves, where she served for ten years. Nonetheless, the circumstances surrounding her conception have played a monumental role in the development of Barnette’s own sense of personhood.” Read the full story here.

BIDEN, PLANNED PARENTHOOD LOSE AGAIN IN LEGAL BATTLE TO HALT TEXAS HEARTBEAT ACT: (LifeSiteNews) – “A federal court has once again allowed the Texas Heartbeat Act to stand while the legal challenges from the Biden administration continue. Judges Catharina Hayes (nominated by President George W. Bush) and James Ho (nominated by President Donald Trump) said on Thursday that the pro-life law should remain in effect until the entire Fifth Circuit hears the challenges to it. President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice wanted a preliminary injunction issued against the law, which would allow abortion facilities to abort babies while the court battles continued.” Read the full story here. (NOTE: The Texas Heartbeat Act has an explicit exception for “medical emergency.” It has no exception for rape and incest or fetal anomaly.)

IN APPARENT REVERSAL, U.S. MILITARY ARCHBISHOP ISSUES STATEMENT OPPOSING VACCINE MANDATES: (LifeSiteNews) – “Archbishop of the U.S. military services Timothy Broglio has issued a statement against forcing American service members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, saying that ‘no one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience.’” Read the full story here.

POPE FRANCIS CONDEMNS ABORTION: “I HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR, IT IS HOMICIDE”: (LifeNews.com) – “Pope Francis encouraged a group of medical professionals Thursday at the Vatican to keep working to protect all human life, including unborn babies from abortion ‘homicide.’ […] Speaking to a group of pharmacists and other medical professionals gathered for an Italian medical conference, Pope Francis encouraged them to keep working to protect all their patients, including those who are still in the womb. […] ‘There is the waste of children that we don’t want welcome,’ he said. ‘It is really a murder.’ He added: ‘Is it right to eliminate, to take a human life to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman to solve a problem? That’s what abortion is.’” Read the full story here.
