Last Tuesday, Pro-Life Wisconsin and our local affiliate, Price County Respect Life, gathered with 40 pro-lifers in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for our inaugural Fall Gathering. We came together at Burgers Bar and Grill in Phillips, WI, to enjoy pro-life company, food and drink, educate on the life issues, and honor Wisconsin State Senator Romaine Quinn (R-Cameron) as Pro-Life Wisconsin’s 2024 Legislator of the Year.
Dear President Trump,
Congratulations on becoming the 47th president of the United States of America! You have faced insurmountable odds, including attempts on your very life, and you have won a hard battle. May God bless you as you prepare to return to the White House next January.
But do not forget those who put you back into office, Mr. President. Pro-life voters turned to you to stave off a Harris presidency that would have brought abortion-on-demand up until birth into every corner of the United States; blue, red, and purple counties alike.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of three incredible members of the Pro-Life Wisconsin (PLW) family. Heather Kramer and her sons Benjamin and Simon passed away in a tragic automobile accident last Wednesday. Heather and her husband Roy had 13 children, and had lost their youngest, Rose, in 2020.

Last Thursday, my cell phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number, but not knowing if someone was trying to reach me for work, I picked it up.
“Hello, this is Teresa,” I said.
“Hi!” said a female voice on the other end of the line. She then went on to explain she was with a local Democrat group and asked if I would be voting for Kamala Harris in the upcoming general election.
Many have asked me over the years what’s the “secret sauce” to saving babies at abortion centers. My number one answer is almost always, “showing up.” It is possible to save babies online, over the phone, text messaging, video conference, but in my opinion, nothing surpasses the personal interaction of a one-on-one conversation with an abortion-oriented mom at an abortion center. Of course, we know the mom is serious about the abortion because SHE is there. Conversely, she knows we are serious about saving her baby because WE are there. Our presence speaks VOLUMES.
Here's a real story about a baby saved in January at Planned Parenthood in Milwaukee.
Fifty-six years ago, the Griswold v. Connecticut U.S. Supreme Court ruling (June 7, 1965) legalized contraception and established a so-called “right to privacy" that paved the way for the Roe v Wade ruling a few years later. The purpose of our campaign is to draw attention to the dangers of the birth control pill and the fact that it does indeed cause early chemical abortions. Events will be held at the following dates and times...
The Senate Committee on Human Services, Children and Families will hold a public hearing on SB 260 & SB 261 this Wednesday, May 26 at 11:00 a.m. in Room 411 South of the State Capitol. Sen. Jacque is the chairman of the committee.
On Tuesday, April 13, a group of four of us took a trip down to Affiliated Medical Services (AMS) on N. Farwell Ave. in Milwaukee. AMS is one of two abortion facilities in Milwaukee. From 2:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. we were on the sidewalk, truly in the trenches. At least 31 women entered the facility while we worked hard to dodge the facility’s escorts and speak truth, life, and encouragement to the (mostly young) women.
Seventy-two-year-old Duane Van Boxtel has been a force for the culture of life since 2006 when he began praying outside of the abortion facility on North Gillett Street in Grand Chute, WI. Since Planned Parenthood closed those doors for good in 2016, Duane has been praying outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion referral center on Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton, WI.
“I’m honored to be chosen as Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Legislator of the Year. It’s an honor I feel compelled to share, however, with my father and mother who faithfully served God and the pro-life community by raising 13 children with absolutely no regrets! They now enjoy a growing list of over 70 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My parent’s pro-life witness to trust in God’s plan for them inspires me to recognize and defend the God-given dignity of every human life from conception to natural death in my capacity as a state legislator in Madison.”
She thought she was at the abortion facility for her appointment, but once she figured out she was at the “wrong place,” she left the pregnancy resource center and headed for the abortion facility. However, when she approached the abortion facility, she saw a multitude of pro-lifers holding the sign that read "look at the ultrasound.” She stopped in her tracks.
Pro-Life Wisconsin is proud to honor Gwen Finnegan at our upcoming Living Courage Awards Dinner on Thursday, April 22. “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.”
