Here's Your Monday Update

WELCOME MONICA AND CORRIE!

Pro-Life Wisconsin is elated to welcome Monica Kampschroer, Operations Manager, and Corrie Christiaansen, Outreach Director, to the PLW team!

Born and raised in Mexico, Monica graduated from ITESM with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering. She worked for 10 years in the insurance field before moving to the Milwaukee area where she got married to her husband–they are now blessed with four children and open to more if God wills it. Monica received her strong faith from her beloved grandparents and parents who were the cornerstone of her formation. She is a strong believer that through her work as a wife, mother, and now the Operations Manager at Pro-Life Wisconsin, she will continue to be sanctified. She is grateful for the opportunity to be part of this team and organization whose whole purpose is to defend all human life! Welcome, Monica!

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 2,171 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.

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.

ANTHONY FAUCI IS FUNDING 80% OF ALL RESEARCH USING BODY PARTS FROM ABORTED BABIES: (LifeNews.com) – “When it comes to the grisly use of aborted baby parts for dubious scientific research in America, a new report shows embattled NIH director Anthony Fauci is behind most of the funding. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), which Fauci directs, is behind $27 million in taxpayer funding for research involving tissue or body parts from babies killed in abortions, or approximately 80% of the funding for all such research in the United States.” Read the full story here.

NEW DATA SHOW TEXAS HEARTBEAT LAW IS SAVING LIVES: (National Review) – “This week, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission released abortion data for September 2021, the first full month in which the Texas Heartbeat Act was in effect. The data illustrate that the new law, which protects preborn children after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, has significantly reduced the incidence of abortion in the Lone Star State.” (NOTE: The Texas Heartbeat Act has an explicit exception for “medical emergency.” It has no exception for rape and incest or fetal anomaly.)

JOE BIDEN FORGETS JUSTICE IS COLOR BLIND AND THAT EVEN THE UNBORN ARE ENTITLED TO IT: (LifeSiteNews, by Judie Brown) – “Until our nation stands up and defends just treatment for every innocent human being from his biological beginning onward, we will have murder, whether we call it abortion, termination or deadly assault – the result is a dead human being. Mr. Biden, justice is color blind; justice stands equally for every innocent human being, born and preborn.” Read the full op-ed here.
