Here's Your Monday Update

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As we ring in 2022, we recall the many blessings of the past year with grateful hearts. Among the greatest blessings was the 317+ babies saved from abortion because of your prayers and the presence of pro-life sidewalk counselors outside of Wisconsin’s abortion centers. Praise God!

With your financial assistance during the past year, Pro-Life Wisconsin was able to reach over ten million individuals online, host the first-ever March for Life Wisconsin, establish a new affiliate in Green Bay, showcase six pro-life billboards throughout the state, provide ongoing efforts in the capitol to defund Planned Parenthood, oppose vaccine mandates, and oppose legislation permitting increased access to contraception, and much much more!

We thank God for showering his abundant blessings upon Pro-Life Wisconsin this year, and we look forward with determination to all we will do together in the new year.

Please join us in praying for the 317+ moms and dads who chose life for their children this year! God is good!

With 2,087 of these plates on cars in the Badger State, sales have resulted in over $100,000 granted to over twenty-five Wisconsin pregnancy resource centers in nearly three years.
