FOUR WORDS TO SAVE A LIFE

“Pregnant? We can help!” Those are four words that could save a life. Pro-Life Wisconsin has worked closely throughout the years with Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC's). One thing that became apparent very early on was the need for a comprehensive website to help young mothers in need to find help in choosing life. So, Pro-Life Wisconsin developed CrisisPregnancies.org which contains the most robust list of PRCs in the entire state. Praise God for all 62 PRC's that we have operating in Wisconsin! They are listed alphabetically by city. Is your PRC included in the list? If it’s not, please let us know, and we’ll include it in the website!

We always see a spike in abortion numbers about six to eight weeks after Christmas or Easter breaks for school. Thanksgiving isn’t generally a long break for students, but if they can get home for this holiday, they will. We need to be ready for the unexpected. Know where your closest PRC is located! The life you may save may be one of your own family members!

PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE LIFE WISCONSIN PLATE, AND SAVE LIVES FROM ABORTION!

Choose Life license plates have been available to Wisconsin motorists since late October 2017. Pro-Life Wisconsin and Wisconsin Family Council partnered to underwrite all the administrative costs of Choose Life Wisconsin, which allows us to give to give every penny that comes from the sale of the plates to Wisconsin’s incredible pregnancy care centers!

With over 1,500 of these plates on cars in the Badger State, sales have resulted in a total of nearly $100,000 which has been granted to over twenty-five Wisconsin pregnancy resource centers in a little over two years.

If you would like to be a part of the mission to save lives, get your Choose Life Wisconsin license plate today! For more information call Pro-Life Wisconsin at 262-796-1111 ext. 110.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act increases tax deductions for charitable donations for both individuals and corporations for tax year 2020. You may wish to consider the following provisions when determining your charitable giving this year:

Individuals who do not itemize their tax deductions may take a new "above the line" charitable deduction of $300 per taxpayer ($600 for a married couple). An "above the line" deduction reduces a donor's adjusted gross income and thereby reduces taxable income.

Individuals who do itemize may deduct donations up to 100% of their 2020 AGI, up from the previous limit of 60%.

Corporations may deduct up to 25% of taxable income, up from the previous limit of 10%.

To qualify for these special deductions, contributions must be made during tax year 2020. Payments on outstanding pledges also qualify, provided the payment is made in 2020.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINES: (Live Action) – “Using cell lines derived from the murders of innocent preborn children should not be normalized, and legal, financial, or market incentives for the harvesting of aborted children must be put to an end. These actors — lawmakers, pharmaceutical companies, and scientific researchers — should be strongly encouraged to develop alternative cell lines for vaccine research.” Read the full story here.

SHOCKING UK REPORT SHOWS 90% OF BABIES DIAGNOSED WITH DOWN SYNDROME ARE KILLED IN ABORTIONS: (Life News) – "The quality of life for people with Down syndrome has improved immensely in recent decades, thanks to modern medicine, expanded support services and better social acceptance of people with disabilities. Yet, Skotko’s research suggests more parents also are choosing to abort unborn babies with Down syndrome than ever before. And the problem is not limited to America or England." Read the full story here.

COVID VACCINES: ‘THE ENDS CANNOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS’: (Crisis Magazine, by Bishop Athanasius Schneider) – “Technology based on murder is rooted in hopelessness and ends in despair. We must resist the myth that ‘there is no alternative.’ On the contrary, we must proceed with the hope and conviction that alternatives exist, and that human ingenuity, with the help of God, can discover them. This is the only way to pass from darkness to light, and from death to life.” Read the full story here.
