SPOTLIGHT ON THE 2021 PRO-LIFE WISCONSIN ACTIVIST OF THE YEAR: GWEN FINNEGAN
Pro-Life Wisconsin is proud to honor Gwen Finnegan at our upcoming Living Courage Awards Dinner on Thursday, April 22. Gwen has served as the Volunteer Director of Vigil for Life-Madison since January 2014. She, alongside Matt Sande of Pro-Life Wisconsin and Matt Bowman of Alliance Defending Freedom, led the fight against the Madison City Council Buffer Zone Ordinance (2014) which attempted to restrict pro-life outreach outside of Planned Parenthood in Madison. Gwen presented testimony at many different city council meetings and brought forth a lawsuit against the Madison City Council, which resulted in a victory for Vigil for Life-Madison.
Gwen has led Madison’s 365 for Life campaigns and eight 40 Days for Life campaigns. She is involved politically at the state capitol and has presented testimony on a number of pro-life bills in conjunction with Pro-Life Wisconsin. Her pro-life motivation comes from a heart that breaks daily for the babies whose lives have been snuffed out by abortion, the countless individuals affected by abortion, and her deep faith in God.
“Thank you to Pro-Life Wisconsin for recognizing my efforts with Vigil for Life-Madison. I share this award with all of those who sign up for hours to witness for life through Vigil for Life-Madison,” remarked Gwen.
“We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.” Luke 17:10
