VOTE YES TO STOP EVERS’ OUT-OF-CONTROL SPENDING: (WILL / IRG Action Fund) – "On August 13,
2024, there will be a statewide ballot initiative to approve two amendments to the Wisconsin Constitution that would give the legislature the ability to approve the expenditure of federal funds.

PRO-LIFE ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS: (The Washington Stand) – “As presidential campaigns have heated up, questions of whether Christians have a pro-life candidate to vote for have risen to the
surface. Speech after speech has been analyzed, and the media has spun each story differently. Depending on whether they want to motivate Democratic voters or enrage Christian ones, news outlets have ‘blamed’ Trump for the overturn of Roe or claimed that he’s barely pro-life. [...] While the candidates’ words during the campaign season should not be discounted, what each candidate has done is more important.”

president Donald Trump hopes to leave abortion up to the states. It’s a defining difference that could decide the election. The most recent Marquette Law School poll details abortion policy is the top issue on the ballot for 15% of Wisconsinites. […] ‘The RNC watered down abortion restrictions,’ Matt Sande, legislative director for Pro-Life Wisconsin said. ‘It’s a tough time for pro-lifers.’”

PRO-LIFE WISCONSIN ANNOUNCES
NEW PRO-LIFE PARTNERSHIP
More than half of all adults have not written a will, leaving their plans for their family’s future and their own legacy uncertain. If you’re in that 50%, maybe you’ve thought about writing a will, but having to pay for it or spending the time to make one has been keeping you from taking the first step. Pro-Life Wisconsin is changing that through our partnership with My Legacy Will and My Catholic Will. Their online will-making forms are simple to use and FREE to you when you use promo code PROLIFEWI at checkout.

UPCOMING WISCONSIN PRIMARY ELECTION: PLW ENDORSEMENTS
Wisconsin's primary election day is just one week away: Tuesday, August 13th. Do you know who you will be voting for? The Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund Political Action Committee (PAC) has published candidate endorsements for the Fall 2024 elections. View endorsements here or click the button below. A total of twenty-six candidates have been endorsed by the Victory Fund PAC for federal, state, and local office.
|
|
VIEW ENDORSEMENTS HERE
|
We proudly endorse these candidates who recognize the personhood of the preborn baby and hold the principled and compassionate no-exceptions pro-life position. As assaults on human life intensify from every angle–surgical, chemical, experimental–we need warriors in public office who will vigorously defend and advance protections for our voiceless preborn. As God’s image-bearers, preborn children from the moment of conception have intrinsic worth, inestimable value, and inviolable dignity.
