LOUISIANA LAW RESTRICTING ABORTION PILLS AS ‘CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES’ GOES INTO EFFECT: (LifeSiteNews) – "A Louisiana law classifying abortion pills as controlled substances took effect this week, prompting the mainstream press to promote claims that women’s lives will be endangered as a result. As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, the Catherine and Josephine Herring Act puts mifepristone and misoprostol, two drugs commonly used in combination to cause chemical abortions, on Louisiana’s list of Schedule IV drugs under its Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances law [...] It does not prohibit the pills for non-abortion purposes."

DOCTORS EUTHANIZE 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO HAD DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY: (LifeNews.com, by Alex Schadenberg, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition) – "The DutchNewsNL reported that the Dutch federation of doctors (KNMG) rebuked 14 psychiatrists for sending a letter to urge the prosecution office to investigate the euthanasia death of a 17-year-old. […They questioned] 'the right of a minor to opt for euthanasia and whether it is right to assume that mental suffering cannot be cured. In the letter they mention the 'widespread promotion of euthanasia' which in their opinion could lead to 'the unnecessary death' of young patients.'"

CALIFORNIA PRO-LIFE PREGNANCY CENTERS SUE AG FOR CENSORING THEIR SPEECH: (Alliance Defending Freedom) – "On behalf of a nonprofit pro-life pregnancy center and a nonprofit network of affiliated centers, Alliance Defending Freedom
attorneys filed suit against the California attorney general for using his power to censor pro-life pregnancy centers because they tell women about the option of taking supplemental progesterone for abortion pill reversal. Progesterone is a safe and naturally occurring hormone that can be used to counteract the life-ending effects of abortion drugs. [...] 'Access to information is a hallmark of a free society and is essential to making informed medical choices' [...] said ADF Senior Counsel Caleb Dalton."

SIDEWALK COUNSELING NEWS
|
Sidewalk counselors reported FIVE precious lives saved from abortion last week!
|
The sidewalk counselor asked a mom if she was going to love all six of her children (she has 5 at home). She said, "Yes!" He then asked; "Are you keeping baby #6?" She said, "Yes!"
This was quite the turnaround from when she came in. She seemed really cold and indifferent on the way in (to the abortion center). Initially, she had said: "I have five children already—I don't need no more children..." Thank God for her change of heart and mind!
We need YOU to help save preborn lives!
1. Bring a Sidewalk Counseling 101 Training to your church or group at NO CHARGE.

|

2. Participate in a 40 Days for Life prayer vigil (see link above).
3. Purchase a "Choose Life" plate for your vehicle(s). 100% of the proceeds from the annual $25 tax-deductible fee goes to one of Wisconsin's 54 pregnancy resource centers! Go to ChooseLifeWisconsin.com.
