Babies Saved the Week of 10/16 - Emails Reporting Babies Saved from Sidewalk Counselors for the Milwaukee Campaign at 435 S. Water Street.

Tuesday, 10/17:
2:11pm, SAVE: They were the one couple that went in all day. They were verifying what the little white stick from the pharmacy told them. They got the pregnancy test from PP (Planned Parenthood). Very excited. The guy gave (sidewalk counselor) Mark a big thumbs up and smiling from ear to ear. Mark said, "Congratulations! You are keeping your baby!" Everyone was happy and smiling. A great moment. Save.

Thursday, 10/19:
12:31 p.m., SAVE: Mom and daughter stopped on the way in and then on the way out stopped and we asked "are you going to check out the resources" and she said " yes" and I said "oh did you find out if you're pregnant?" She said "yes I am" and how many weeks are you? "11 weeks." Praise God and she's keeping the baby! Save.

1:15 p.m., SAVE: Couple who took (pro-life) lit(erature) on the way in stopped and talked to us and they said they are not doing it [abortion]. It is hard on both of them and so the guy said . . .[they're] going someplace else to get an ultrasound. Save.

Friday, 10/20:
(Exact Time Unknown), SAVE: From September, sidewalk counselor.
[She came over to us on the] sidewalk and I asked her if she was pregnant and she said yes and I asked her if she's keeping the baby and she said she didn't know yet it was difficult. So I talked to her about abortion pill reversal and what happens with that. I talked to her about that. There's so many people that will offer her help. (Sidewalk counselor) Mark.. .[mentioned the] adoption option and I told her to make sure that she prayed about it before she made a decision and she said yes ma'am. At the end she really considers all and will keep [her baby]. Save.

10:28 a.m. SAVE: Pregnant and she's keeping the baby. Save.

1:46 p.m. SAVE: . . . Woman with kids said that she's pregnant and she's keeping her baby. I asked her if she found out if she was pregnant. She said yes and she said she was keeping her baby. Save.

Join fellow students and other pro-lifers as we march for life in D.C. this coming January. Why attend the march? Here are reasons our students gave for attending the March for Life in 2023:

I am a member of my youth Pro-life group at my church. I look forward to sharing with the other members and my friends about the trip.

I believe that when people see young people around them convicted in the pro life cause, it can be very inspiring.

[Attending the D.C. March] will help me be more involved in the March for Life and it will help me bring the message back to my pro life club and share the wonderful experience.

Going to the March for Life sounds AMAZING. I am really excited to hear the speakers to help strengthen my knowledge on prolife issues and be more inspired to fight for the unborn.

. . . [A]ttending the March for Life will fuel our (pro-life club's) pro-life stance and we will continue to do pro-life work in our community!

Pro-Life Wisconsin buses will leave Wisconsin on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, and return on Sunday, January 21, 2024. The March will take place on Friday, January 19, 2024. Scholarships are available for students through next Wednesday! With questions or group sign-ups please contact Outreach Director Lesley Chisholm at Lesley.C@ProLifeWI.org or 262-796-1111 ext. 116.

ILLEGAL ABORTIONS - YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced on September 18, 2023, they would resume killing babies in Milwaukee and Madison, essentially because they think they can get away with it. Know that Pro-Life Wisconsin is doing everything within our power to hold Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin accountable to the law.

If you have not filed your own complaint yet, please respond to this call! File a complaint with the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board and tell them "Planned Parenthood is breaking the law by performing abortions in violation of Wisconsin's abortion ban, state statute 940.04." File your complaint here or call the WI Department of Safety and Professional Services at (608) 266-2112.

SENATE GOP PASSES TAX CUT, ABORTION BILLS AND TRANSGENDER RESTRICTIONS IN CONTENTIOUS FLOOR SESSION: (Wisconsin Examiner) – “Lawmakers passed three bills 22-10 that would update the state’s 1849 abortion law and provide support to pregnancy crisis resource centers and adoption in Wisconsin. The bills were part of Republicans’ ‘Embrace Them Both’ package, which has the support of Wisconsin’s major anti-abortion groups. The last bill in the package, which would have allowed taxpayers to claim fetuses with a heartbeat for a tax exemption and increase the amount that taxpayers can claim for every dependent from $700 to $1,000, did not make it to the floor on Tuesday.” Read the full story here.

PHARMACIES EXPAND ACCESS TO ABORTION PILLS UNDER NEW BIDEN POLICY: (UpNorthNews) – “A group of independent pharmacies in states across the country have begun dispensing the abortion pill mifepristone–an action made possible thanks to new rules implemented by the Biden administration earlier this year. The news, which was first reported by Politico, comes after President Joe Biden in January issued new rules allowing retail pharmacies to dispense mifepristone. Mifepristone, along with another drug, misoprostol, is approved through 10 weeks of pregnancy, and is used in more than half of abortions nationwide. […] One Wisconsin pharmacy, Meriter Outpatient Pharmacy in Madison, is among the 19 locations [nationwide] that have publicly confirmed they’re dispensing mifepristone.” Read the full story here.

HEAD OF DOWN SYNDROME CLINIC SAYS HIS WORK GIVES HIM A ‘DEEP SENSE OF PURPOSE’: (Live Action) – “Dr. Brian Skotko isn’t just the director of the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He’s a Harvard-educated, board-certified medical geneticist, an author, a public speaker… and older brother to Kristin, who has Down syndrome. He’s dedicated his life to Down syndrome research, advocacy, and education, and in a recent interview with Word On Fire, he spoke about the value of his work and what has changed in recent years. Skotko began by explaining that both his sister and his patients with Down syndrome teach him valuable lessons. ‘They teach me to pause when I am tempted to rush, to feel when I want to rationalize, to cherish bronze when I am looking for gold,’ he said. ‘Yet the Down syndrome community pushes me beyond just happy life lessons; its families have gifted me a deep sense of purpose. Rather than focusing on my ego-centric dramas, I am reminded daily that our work is far from over in ensuring that all neurodiverse persons are valued.’” Read the full story here.

WHY ARE GLOBALIST ELITES TRYING TO ELIMINATE THEIR FELLOW MAN?: (LifeSiteNews, by Steven Mosher) – “Who is the biggest funder of anti-people population control programs in the world? […] At the top of the list is Warren Buffett, who may be the single largest funder of abortion in human history. Just this year Buffett gave away a total of some $4.6 billion, a substantial chunk of which will wind up in the coffers of the abortion industry. […] Most people don’t know that it was Warren Buffett, back in 1994, who provided the seed money to develop the deadly abortion drug, RU-486. The money went to the Population Council, the chief U.S. promoter of the drug, and was used to fund the clinical trials of RU-486 that led to its later legalization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). […] Another one of Buffett’s favorite charities is International Projects Assistance Services (IPAS). IPAS is the principal manufacturer and distributor of the manual vacuum aspirators, or MVAs, used by the UN Population Fund, and other groups. This deadly device is actually a manually operated suction pump that is used around the world to abort very small babies. […] What would possess a man of obvious intelligence and untold wealth to spend billions of dollars to finance aggressive programs of sterilization and abortion? To put it even more bluntly, why is Warren Buffett obsessed with ridding the globe of ‘excess’ baby humans?” Read full the op-ed here.
