PLW PROGRAM: NEVER A BURDEN

Pro-Life Wisconsin's Never a Burden program equips adults with educational resources to make informed decisions on medical options surrounding end of life and other medically vulnerable situations. Thousands of pro-lifers have been equipped with information to make informed decisions about their care because of the Never A Burden program. One of its highlights includes a complimentary Protective Power of Attorney for Healthcare document, which is available for download 24/7 here.

Medical and legal professionals have reviewed the PPAHC document prior to it being made available to the public. It empowers adults to appoint up to three individuals to access their medical treatment preferences. The Never a Burden program also features speakers who are available to provide a brief presentation on the PPAHC document and how to complete it. The speakers can be requested through our speaker's bureau here. Because the document and presentations are provided complimentary, financial support from generous donors like you enables this program to remain available. Please consider donating to the Never a Burden program today.

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 1,791 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.

AN OPEN LETTER TO BISHOP ATHANASIUS SCHNEIDER ON HIS APPEAL FOR A ‘NEW PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT’: (LifeSiteNews) – “Many people around the world have read your Excellency’s address of 19 February 2021, titled Unmasking COVID-19: Vaccines, Mandates, and Global Health, with great consolation, seeing in it a rare and most valuable voice of truth. In Italy too, associations and groups committed to the right to life have not remained indifferent to your address. Many have found in Your Excellency’s appeal for a ‘new pro-life movement’ — which fights ‘clearly and unambiguously, against abortion-tainted medicines, against the abuse of the body parts of the unborn’ — a powerful stimulus to rethink action.” Read the full letter here.
