|
|
|
|
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Anthony Levatino will share his powerful story on why a physician trained to give life would instead take it away. Before his conversion, Dr. Levatino performed over 1,200 first and second-trimester abortions as part of his OBGYN practice in upstate New York. He has since become a pro-life advocate, speaking about the dangers of abortion. His story is filled with practical advice on what we can do to increase our effectiveness in advocating for the preborn. We hope you will join us for Dr. Levatino's compelling testimony and an unforgettable night of supporting life!

NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ABORTED CHILDREN REMEMBERS THOSE LOST TO ABORTION
About twenty of us gathered this last Saturday, September 9th, to hold the National Day of Remembrance of Aborted Children event at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, located at 7301 W Nash St, Milwaukee. But we weren’t the only ones who went out. There were services held in Dane, Cedarburg, Green Bay, Kaukauna, Phillips and Stevens Point. There are memorials located all throughout Wisconsin dedicated to aborted children in 21 other cities in Wisconsin! When one visits a cemetery, it is difficult not to contemplate your own final journey to Christ. As we stood there in the glorious sun remembering the over 550,000 Wisconsin persons who have died at the hands of an abortionist since 1973, we also held in mind the 27 sites throughout Wisconsin that will stand long after we are all gone, letting others know that abortion was once legal in the United State of America. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future, we will be able to say once again that America protects the weak and innocent. We will be able to say that abortion is no more. We want to live in a time where no more mothers cry and no more babies die. That is my dream for America. Help us achieve it by getting involved in the fight. Because the battle has JUST BEGUN! Dan Miller, State Director

VETERAN PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST MONICA MILLER ANSWERS SEVERAL COMMON OBJECTIONS TO RESCUES: (LifeSiteNews, by Monica Migliorino Miller, Ph. D.) – "Let me say a few words in defense of pro-life rescues. Some pro-life leaders have weighed in, expressing criticism of this pro-life effort – both the ‘traditional’ rescue that involves blocking doors and hallways to prevent the killing of the unborn, and Red Rose Rescues that do not engage in any blockading activity (those who have participated in Red Rose Rescues have never been charged under FACE). […] I have participated in rescues since 1978, stood trial several times, and have served four prison terms, most recently this year – a
45-day sentence at the Oakland County ‘Hilton’! I do speak from a certain position of authority on the need for, purpose, and effectiveness of rescues." Read the full op-ed here.
JAILED RESCUER WILL GOODMAN: PRO-LIFERS MUST LOOK TO THE U.S. CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR INSPIRATION: (LifeSiteNews,
by Will Goodman) – "I have always agreed with John Cavenaugh-O’Keefe that the pro-life movement really needs to study nonviolence, especially learning about the American civil rights movement. We, as a movement, too quickly shy away from the prospect of arrest, and fear what others think and what the secular world calls ‘illegal’ – but are in reality virtuous acts of justice." Read the full op-ed here.
LEFT DODGING PENTAGON’S ABORTION EXTREMISM IN ATTACKS ON TUBERVILLE: (The Daily Signal, by Jarrett Stepman) – "The Left wants our government and institutions to operate as if its values were the norm and must be enforced—or else. That idea hit a snag in Sen. Tommy
Tuberville, R-Ala., who has been making a prolonged stand against the extreme abortion policies adopted by the military under President Joe Biden. Tuberville has been blocking the promotions of about 300 military personnel and flag officers over the Pentagon’s new abortion policy, and that has caused a meltdown on the Left." Read the full op-ed here.
PRO-LIFE LEADERS SLAM FACE ACT CONVICTIONS: ‘EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR JUDICIAL
SYSTEM’: (LifeSiteNews) – "Three prominent American pro-life groups issued statements condemning the Biden Department of Justice’s prosecution and conviction of five activists who now face more than a decade in prison for blocking access to a late-term abortion facility. […] ‘This conviction is blatant abuse of political power meant to intimidate pro-life voices. It is an embarrassment to our judicial system,’ said Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA)." Read the full story here.
