SPECIAL TRIBUTE EDITIONMOURNING A PRO-LIFE HERO: FAREWELL TO SISTER ROSALIA BAUER, FSPA |
 |
It is with deep sadness yet profound hope in the resurrection that we share the news of the passing of one of Pro-Life Wisconsin’s founding members, Sister Rosalia Bauer, FSPA this past Friday, October 11, 2024.
Sister Rosalia was a member of a Catholic order of religious sisters in La Crosse for over 70 years, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and a tireless defender of the unborn. She was active with Pro-Life Wisconsin (PLW) from our earliest years beginning in 1993, serving as volunteer coordinator soon after PLW was formed. With her knowledge and experience in nursing (Sister was an RN), she was able to provide expert medical testimony at the State Capitol and pro-life medical education at various PLW events.

THREE WEEKS UNTIL FALL GENERAL ELECTION DAY: MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE! |
The Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund Political Action Committee (PAC) has endorsed a total of eleven candidates for federal and state office. Wisconsin’s fall general election day is Tuesday, November 5.
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.

SAN FRANCISCO ARCHBISHOP URGES RESIDENTS TO OPPOSE BALLOT THAT TARGETS PRO-LIFE PREGNANCY CENTERS:
(LifeSiteNews) – "The Archbishop of San Francisco is once again using his voice to urge Catholics under his care to defend innocent life. In a video message released earlier this month, His Excellency Salvatore Cordileone called on residents to vote no on Proposition O. ‘Why would anyone want to stigmatize a primary health care facility and a pregnancy resource center that give pregnant women support for having their babies?’ he asked. Proposition O, which is misleadingly named the ‘Reproductive Freedom Act,’ is a ballot proposal that will appear before San Francisco residents next month."

ELON MUSK: ‘HAVING A CHILD IS ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL… THINGS YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO’: (Live Action) – "During a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk discussed the
problematic trend of declining birth rates worldwide and said that society needs to stop teaching women to be scared of having babies. ‘We terrify girls, [saying], ‘If you get pregnant, your life’s over.’ This is what schools teach. I agree we should not have teenage pregnancies, but actually having a child is one of the most delightful, happiness-inducing things you can possibly do,’ Musk said. Over the past few years, Elon Musk has frequently spoken out against abortion and birth control, calling them threats..." Continue Reading (Warning: foul language)

SIDEWALK COUNSELING NEWS

Sidewalk counselors reported SIX precious lives saved from abortion last week!
On their way out, a couple passed Dan and he had a feeling she had not had the abortion so he said "God bless all three of you. Thanks for choosing life."
When there was no response, another sidewalk counselor saw the dad, reached out to him and said that we were praying for them. The young man responded, "We just changed our mind! We ain't doin' it!" The sidewalk counselors all looked at each other and threw their hands up in the air. Hallelujah!
We need YOU to help save preborn lives!
