HELP WISCONSIN MOMS AND DADS THIS #GIVINGTUESDAY

Earlier this fall, *Trina called our office and spoke with Pro-Life Wisconsin State Director Dan Miller. A mother of five, Trina was dealing with an abusive situation at home. She turned to the local pregnancy resource center for help, and they referred her to Pro-Life Wisconsin for emergency housing through our Helping Both Pregnancy Support Program. Dan was able to offer Trina assistance immediately—putting her and her children up in a hotel to remain safe until things could be sorted out.We could not have done this without the financial support of Pro-Life Wisconsinites like you!When you give to Pro-Life Wisconsin this #GivingTuesday, you offer hope to those who are vulnerable. Whether they are in a crisis pregnancy situation or navigating threats to the safety of their family like Trina was, it is IMPERATIVE that they have a place to turn to and an advocate in their need. *Names changed for confidentiality.Through the Helping Both Pregnancy Support Program, Pro-Life Wisconsin assists Moms, Dads, and their preborn babies through emergency rent, gas, and food assistance, appliance purchases, and financial aid. This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to support these families through a generous financial gift!

FDA CONSIDERS APPROVAL OF FIRST OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL: (Live Action) – “This month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing an application for over-the-counter birth control. While more than 20 states have already approved dispensation of hormonal birth control without a doctor’s office visit, each state still requires that a licensed pharmacist dispense the medication after reviewing a medical history questionnaire filled out by the patient. But if the FDA approves French pharmaceutical company HRA Pharma’s ‘O-pill’ progestin-only birth control, it will be available truly over-the-counter just like Tylenol or Motrin — without any doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or pharmacist contact.” Read the full story here.

STEPH CURRY’S MOM THANKS GOD FOR COURAGE TO REJECT ABORTION: (LifeNews.com) – “Sonya Curry trusted that God would work everything together for good when she drove away from the abortion facility, still carrying her unborn son. Now, more than 30 years later, her son Steph Curry is one of the biggest names in the NBA. He and his mother also are vocal about their Christian faith. In an interview on the ‘Your Mom’ podcast this week, Sonya Curry talked about why she decided to share how she almost aborted her son in her new memoir ‘Fierce Love,’ according to the New York Post. She also had an abortion prior to conceiving Stephen.” Read the full story here.
