MADISON — The Wisconsin Catholic Conference (WCC), the public policy voice of the bishops of Wisconsin, supports and offered testimony on two bills that would restrict the use of taxpayer funds to pay for elective abortions.
On April 19, the WCC testified in support of Assembly Bill 128 (Rep. André Jacque, R-De Pere), which would prohibit public authorities from subsidizing elective abortions.
To the editor:
Pro-life Catholics from across Wisconsin need to act now and contact our state representatives and state senators to support three important pro-life bills:
• Assembly Bill 305 will stop the sale and trafficking of aborted baby body parts in Wisconsin. If you have not seen the recent disturbing videos of Planned Parenthood’s staff harvesting baby body parts after abortions, go to the Center for Medical Progress website and watch all of the videos that have been released so far.
MADISON — A benefit for Jeremy Meinholz and his family will be held on Sunday, Oct. 13, sponsored by Catholic Financial Life Chapter 280 Ashton/Middleton, along with Jeremy’s family and friends.
Jeremy has a fast-growing, life- threatening melanoma. He and his wife, Cheryl, have three children: Aiden (10), Isabel (seven), and Sawyer (four). Our goal is to raise funds for medical bills and other expenses as Jeremy fights this cancer.
On Thursday, April 5, Governor Walker signed about 50 bills into law, including three measures supported by the Wisconsin Catholic Conference (WCC).
