40 DAYS FOR LIFE SPRING CAMPAIGN
MARCH 2 - APRIL 10, 2022
Help save lives by praying to end abortion in your community during the 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign March 2 - April 10, 2022. Since the founding in 2007, 40 Days for Life campaigns have saved 20,728 babies that we know of through prayer, fasting, a peaceful vigil outside of local abortion facilities. Commit to a prayer time with friends, family, or call us if you'd like a member of our Pro-Life Wisconsin staff to join you! If you or your campaign is in need of signs, we can ship you one or as many as you need. Please go to a campaign near you and get involved. View Wisconsin locations here.
40 Clergy, 40 Days: In past years, the presence of clergy has proven a very powerful witness and has influenced many women to choose life outside of abortion facilities! Our goal is to have one priest, deacon, or religious praying every day of the campaign for one hour. If you are a clergy member and would like to commit to one hour of prayer outside the local abortion facility, please sign up here. If you would like a member of our Pro-Life Wisconsin staff to join you on the sidewalks, let us know! Call 262.796.1111 or email info@prolifewi.org.

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.

VERMONT HOUSE OKS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CODIFY ‘RIGHT’ TO ABORTION: (LifeSiteNews) – “The Vermont House of Representatives gave its approval to a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would formally
codify a ‘right’ to abortion. Proposal 5, the so-called Reproductive Liberty Amendment, declares that an ‘individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one’s own life course and shall not be denied or infringed unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means.’” Read the full story here.
CHINA’S POPULATION CONTROL HAS DECIMATED IT SO MUCH IT’S NOW TELLING UNMARRIED WOMEN DON’T HAVE ABORTIONS: (LifeNews.com) –
“The Chinese Communist Party appears to be finally back-stepping on its oppressive pro-abortion agenda as the country faces a potentially disastrous population decline. The Times in England reports the China Family Planning Association just announced plans to discourage unmarried women from aborting their unborn babies in an effort to increase population numbers. The association used to do the opposite. Human rights leaders repeatedly have condemned it for enforcing China’s oppressive one child policy through coerced and forced sterilizations and abortions up to birth.” Read the full story here.
CVS NURSE ALLEGEDLY FIRED FOR REFUSING TO PRESCRIBE POTENTIAL ABORTIFACIENTS: (Live Action) – “Former nurse practitioner Robyn Strader has filed a complaint against CVS with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on the grounds that the drug store chain terminated her employment after she refused to fill a prescription for contraceptives that are potential abortifacients.” Read the full story here.
