40 DAYS FOR LIFE CAMPAIGN'S
FIRST BABY SAVED IN MILWAUKEE

(40 Days for Life) – It didn't take long to learn of the campaign's first saved baby! The abortion facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin hadn't even opened Wednesday morning when vigil participants met a young woman attempting to enter the locked building.

An abortion worker emerged, telling the mom, "Come back [in an hour]. There's nothing I can do for you right now."

The Milwaukee abortion business's website features a long, ridiculous "warning," telling women not to visit the pregnancy help center across the street, but that pregnancy help center was open and ready to assist the abortion-vulnerable mother.

"The woman took the [pro-life sidewalk counselor's] advice to go seek help and walked her over," reported longtime 40 Days for Life leader Dan Miller.

When the mom came back out, she "was smiling from ear to ear." A saved baby wasn't the day's only blessing for Milwaukee prayer warriors. Later, Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki came to pray with the Milwaukee pro-life faithful.

You too can help save lives during the 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign March 2 - April 10, 2022. 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.

Registration is now open for the 2022 Living Courage Awards Dinner! Join us on Thursday, April 28, 2022, at the Bridgewood Resort Hotel (1000 Cameron Way, Neenah, WI 54956) where we will honor our Activist of the Year, Tallulah Caulfield, and Legislator of the Year, Senator André Jacque.

Our Keynote Speakers for the evening are Michael and Tallulah Caulfield.

Together, they will share their powerful testimony of the grace and mercy found in Jesus Christ after abortion.

Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m.

The Arkansas Senate previously approved the same funding bill by a vote of 27 to 4. In speaking for the appropriation, State Rep. Robin Lundstrum and State Rep. Cindy Crawford told lawmakers if Arkansas is going to make abortion illegal, the State needs to step up and provide help for women with unplanned pregnancies.” Read the full story here.

WILL LEFTIST THREATS TO SUPREME COURT JUSTICES STOP SCOTUS FROM OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE?: (LifeNews.com, by Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue) –"As spring nears, anticipation for the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center continues to grow. There is a lot at stake in this important case. While it centers on a challenge to a Mississippi state law that bans abortions after 15 weeks, Mississippi’s Solicitor General Scott G. Stewart has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which opened the floodgates on abortion in America. To listen to some pro-life leaders, the decision appears to be a done deal. They are behaving as if Roe has already been overturned. But not so fast. The Supreme Court has a habit of surprising court watchers, and this may be one of those cases. Last May, Operation Rescue started warning that this is not as clear cut of a case as some might think. It is complicated, not because of the legal points at issue, but because of politics.” Read the full op-ed here.
