“A vote to add more exceptions to Wisconsin’s abortion ban is a vote to kill more preborn babies. It is that simple," said Matt Sande, Pro-Life Wisconsin Legislative Director. "The fact is that legal abortion – the direct, intentional killing of a living preborn human being – is incapable of being justified. It is always and everywhere wrong, regardless of motivation or consequence. It may never be employed, even in the narrowest of circumstances, as a means to a greater end. It is incredibly disheartening that legislative Republicans are working to restore abortion to Wisconsin."
Viterbo University to "Significantly Curtail" Pro-Life Activities on Campus
Viterbo University, founded in 1890, ”is proud to be the only Catholic university in the Diocese of La Crosse and to participate directly in the life of the local Church.” According to their website, what makes Viterbo catholic is “a commitment to upholding the gospel understanding of the sacredness of all human life.” However, the comments that ensued during Monday’s convocation raise suspicion over the validity of this commitment.
Demand Governor Evers and Attorney General Kaul Enforce Wisconsin's Abortion Law s.940.04
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court delivered a monumental opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization – which overturned the precedent set in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Now the issue of abortion has returned to the states, and it is up to our state attorney general, Josh Kaul, and county district attorneys to enforce Wisconsin’s pre-Roe criminal abortion statute 940.04.
A Post-Roe Wisconsin
The United States Supreme Court is on the precipice of overturning its most egregious ruling: Roe v. Wade. After 49 years and over sixty million slain, it is far past time Roe be tossed upon the ash heap of history. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe and Casey and sends the abortion issue back to the states, it is critical that we be prepared to protect every preborn child in Wisconsin from the moment of conception. This will require two, and possibly three, state legislative actions.
Pro-Life Wisconsin Calls for Prayer, Peace, and Safety
Early Sunday morning, Pro-Life Wisconsin received news that the office of our ally, Wisconsin Family Action, had been attacked.

Governor Evers Grants $1.4 Million to Planned Parenthood
Under the guise of COVID relief dollars, Governor Tony Evers has awarded over $1.4 million to Wisconsin’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.

Just One Chance – Baby Saved
At around 3:00 p.m. when the next car presented itself across the street at the gas station, we went to meet them, and I split off to talk to the male driver. He accepted the literature I offered, and I told him about the free help at the pregnancy resource center nearby. He replied, “I don’t have time to watch two kids.”
