April, 2011

More than 100 people showed up today for our Stations of the Cross in Milwaukee. In the photo, below, you can see the procession from St. Rita’s to Affiliated and the crowd of pro-lifers lining the sidewalk outside the abortion facility. But the crowd of pro-lifers isn’t even the best part!

When we arrived at Affiliated Medical Services this morning, we started in right away with the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. We had already prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries at St. Rita’s, so we thought we would mix it up a bit down at the mill. When we were done with the Rosary, another vigiler felt compelled to recite a prayer honoring the Face of Jesus. Within this beautiful oration was an exorcism prayer. Suddenly we noticed that the police were in the area. They were not there for crowd control — they were directing traffic because the traffic signals were completely out. The neon sign in the window of Affiliated was out as well. Clients started streaming OUT of the mill in a pretty steady flow. All the lights were out inside the abortion mill!  I don’t know about you, but if I were any of the women inside that place, I would not be sticking around for an abortion by candlelight. As the women streamed out, we said, “This is a sign from God that you should keep your baby!  God has a plan for your baby!  Go home!  Love your baby!  Have a wonderful Easter!”  One young mom smiled and nodded in agreement with our statement!  The ‘deathscorts’ were very busy doing damage control, scoffing at our divine implications.

The Doubting Thomases out there may still find it hard to see the hand of God at work here.  Every building, street light, traffic signal on Farwell, as far as the eye could see, was without power, save one, whose lights were burning brightly amidst the darkness.  That building was the pro-life crisis pregnancy center across the street from Affiliated, the Women’s Care Center. God’s way of smiling at pro-lifers on Good Friday, and a message for the vulgar, angry pro-aborts we encounter all too often?

40 Days for Life recently wrapped up. Closing ceremonies were held at the 40 Days locations across the state. We celebrated the 28 lives spared from abortion in Milwaukee.

The photo below is from Juneau County’s closing ceremony. In Juneau County, we’ve found great inspiration in an even younger Pro-Life Wisconsinite. At just ten years old, Alex recently suffered an unexplained stroke. While he’s bouncing back, Alex’s future remains uncertain. But in spite of everything, Alex’s mother called the Pro-Life Wisconsin office to tell us Alex promised to dedicate his recovery to prayer for 40 Days for Life. Alex and his family are in the picture below, praying for an end to abortion.

Join us in Good Friday Stations of the Cross tomorrow, and say a special prayer for Alex and his family.

Because no good deed goes unpunished, pro-aborts are attempting to rally the troops in protest of our Good Friday Stations of the Cross.

Why is it that on Good Friday, when Christians observe Christ’s death on the cross, even more killing is necessary?

Due to the overwhelming popularity and appreciation of the “Baby Jesus ultrasound” billboard Pro-Life Wisconsin placed in three Wisconsin cities before Christmas, the image is back, this time celebrating Mother’s Day. Read the backstory here.

The above billboard can be found in Milwaukee at the intersection of 76th Street & Florist Avenue.  The billboards are also in two Kenosha locations — the intersection of Sheridan Rd & 83rd St  and the intersection of 30th Ave & 60th St. The Kenosha billboards are co-sponsored by Right to Life of Kenosha.

The billboards were posted Monday, April 18 and will be up for a month.

An April 17 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article explored the link between premature delivery and infant mortality. Specifically, blacks in the U.S. have double or triple the rates of premature births than whites:

For decades, researchers have found that African-Americans across this country had double or even triple the rates of prematurity, low birth weight and infant mortality of their white counterparts. A married, college-educated African-American woman faces worse odds than a white, unmarried woman who dropped out of high school.

Missing from the MJS analysis was the proven link between preterm delivery and past induced abortions. (Remember, this is the MJS that wished Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, the state’s #1 abortion provider, a very public “Happy 75th birthday!” last year.)

In Wisconsin, 6.2% of the population is black, yet 24% of all state abortions are on African-Americans, which is four times the representation.

By willfully ignoring the impact abortion has on women and communities, the MJS continues Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s wish to exterminate the black population. Sanger once wrote, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
