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 $152,466 granted to over twenty-five Wisconsin pregnancy resource centers in nearly five years.

REPUBLICANS LAUD NEW 'ANTI-ABORTION' MEASURE, BUT EXPERTS SAY IT HAS LITTLE-TO-NO EFFECT: (Wisconsin State Journal) – “Republicans are applauding Democratic Gov. Tony Evers for signing an anti-abortion provision into law, but genetic
counselors are saying the measure to prohibit them from encouraging patients to obtain abortions has no practical effect […]Sen. Andre Jacque, R-De Pere, praised Republican lawmakers involved in the bill and ‘even Gov. Evers in coming together to make this important pro-life safeguard a reality and a model for other states considering similar legislation.’ […] While the group didn’t register in favor or against the bill, Pro-Life Wisconsin legislative director Matt Sande called the provision a step in the right direction. He added that parents receiving a positive test result for a prenatal congenital condition should receive encouragement and educational resources, not ‘the hopeless, life-destroying option of abortion.’” Read the full story here.
THIS PRO-LIFE ‘HERO’ HAS HELPED SAVE THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN FROM ABORTION: (LifeSiteNews) – “From Brooklyn to the Bronx and beyond, Chris Slattery is being recognized for his tremendous impact on the pro-life movement after his diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer […] Slattery is the founder of Expectant Mother Care, a network of New York City-based pregnancy centers that provides only pro-life alternatives to abortion. Over the past three decades, the network has saved an estimated 43,000 children from abortion. Slattery has also been responsible for training hundreds, if not thousands, of sidewalk counselors from around the country to successfully sway mothers from choosing abortion.” Read the full story here.
D.C. MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE POTENTIAL CASES OF INFANTICIDE IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL: (the Federalist, by Lila Rose) – “When twenty-three members of Congress pressed Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser
on an investigation into the deaths of five babies, they were expecting answers about the potentially illegal abortions happening in her jurisdiction. Instead, she promised to criminally investigate the pro-life activists who found the bodies and turned them over to the police. Pro-life activists had done so with the hope that autopsies and an investigation would look into possible criminal activity. Unsurprisingly, given the politics of the pro-abortion left, no one can be found to answer serious questions about the abortions and possible acts of infanticide that led to their being placed in buckets and treated as waste products.” Read the full op-ed here.
PRIEST WHO HELD FUNERAL FOR ABORTED CHILDREN FOUND IN D.C. SPEAKS: ‘MAKE SURE THIS EVIL COMES TO AN END’: “The Catholic priest who held a funeral for the remains of the 115 aborted children recently found in Washington, D.C., has spoken out about his experience. In an interview with LifeSite News, Fr. Bill Kuchinsky of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston West Virginia spoke of the reason he felt a proper funeral and burial was necessary and explained what he hopes will come of the tragedy.” Read the full story here.
