Happy Birthday, Pro-Life Wisconsin. (Photo credit: SimonWhitaker on Flickr)<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Saturday, I was privileged to be one of over 400 people who gathered to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Pro-Life Wisconsin<\/a>. The theme of the evening was to celebrate a culture of life. Indeed, the organization is actively involved in promoting life.<\/p>\n

The director of legislation for Pro-Life Wisconsin, Matt Sande, reported that Wisconsin passed several pro-life bills during the 2011-2012 legislative session that effectively:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Redirected $1 million away from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin,<\/li>\n
  2. Ended state funding for abortions at the University of Wisconsin Hospital,<\/li>\n
  3. Repealed the contraception sexual education mandate,<\/li>\n
  4. Banned webcam chemical abortions by requiring physicians to be physically present in the room when abortion-inducing drugs are given, and<\/li>\n
  5. Prohibited abortion coverage in ObamaCare insurance exchanges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Also during the legislative session, a Personhood Amendment was introduced, which would give constitutional rights to the unborn if passed in the future by simply adding these words to the Wisconsin Constitution:<\/p>\n

    As applied to the right to life, the terms “people” and “person\u201d shall apply to every human being at any stage of development.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Just because the unborn are currently unprotected doesn\u2019t mean that it will remain that way. Pro-Life Wisconsin released a YouTube video<\/a> and put up a billboard to show how the Supreme Court has been wrong in the past about defining groups who were not \u201cpeople.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Those who spoke Saturday evening included Bishop Don Hying, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, PLW State Director Peggy Hamill, and Pro-Life Action League founder Joe Scheidler. The evening ended with singing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to Pro-Life Wisconsin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
