40 DAYS FOR LIFE – JOIN US!

Just yesterday, the 40 Days for Life Milwaukee campaign hosted a Eucharistic Procession from Saint Hedwigs Church to Affiliated Medical Services to mark the halfway point in the spring campaign. Dozens of pro-lifers gathered, praying for an end to abortion and the permanent closing of the abortion facility on Farwell Avenue. Thank you to all who joined us!

If you haven't yet prayed with us at the campaign site, Affiliated Medical Services, (1428 N Farwell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53202) please join us! God can use you to help save lives! As Abby Johnson has said, "Abortion centers' no-show rates skyrocket to as high as 75% when there is even just ONE person outside praying." If God has been tugging at your heart to be a voice for the babies, sign up here or contact Dan Miller at Dan.M@ProLifeWI.org

Join us here or at a campaign near you! View Wisconsin locations here. If you or your campaign is in need of signs, we can ship you one or as many as you need.

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 ext. 110 or email info@prolifewi.org.

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.

SENATOR TOM COTTON TELLS KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: YOU “MUST PROTECT THE RIGHT TO LIFE OF THE UNBORN”: (LifeNews.com) – “A U.S. Supreme Court justice must protect “the right to life” of unborn babies, U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, said Monday as the Senate considers the confirmation of nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both pro-life and pro-abortion groups believe Jackson would do the opposite. President Joe Biden promised to nominate a justice who believes in the so-called “right” to abort an unborn baby. If confirmed, Jackson would replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. Jackson has the support of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which advocates for abortions without limits up to birth, as well as leftist “dark money” groups linked to pro-abortion billionaire George Soros.” Read the full story here.

COLORADO BILL TO GUARANTEE ABORTION RIGHTS HEADED TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK AFTER FINAL VOTE IN THE LEGISLATURE: (The Denver Post) – “All that’s left for Colorado to guarantee abortion access in the state is Gov. Jared Polis’ signature after the legislation received its final stamp of approval from the General Assembly on Wednesday. State senators approved HB22-1279, dubbed the ‘Reproductive Health Equity Act,’ on a party-line vote of 20-15. Democrats brought forward the measure, aimed at proactively protecting abortion rights amid the impending threat of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that made abortion access without excessive government interference a constitutional right. All Republican senators voted against the bill as did all Republican representatives last week. A spokesman for Polis confirmed on Wednesday that the governor intends to sign the measure […] The legislation would enshrine the right to abortions and other reproductive care before and after pregnancy, and it would ban local and state governments from interfering in that care. It would also prevent a fertilized egg, embryo or fetus from having independent rights under state law.” Read the full story here.

EXPOSED: PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS FIND WHERE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STORES ABORTED BABY PARTS: (LifeSiteNews) – “A coalition of pro-life organizations located and photographed a freezer containing the remains of aborted babies at the University of Washington, shedding additional light on the university’s ongoing sale of and experimentation on fetal tissue derived from abortions.” Read the full story here.
