Babies are being saved by pro-life efforts
News from 40 Days for Life National revealed that less than a week into the vigil, which started on September 25, already 26 babies were known to be saved by the witness of pro-life volunteers.
In Madison, 40 Days for Life volunteers have seen many turn-aways (young women or couples who have left Planned Parenthood without going through with their appointment and have either gone across the street to the Women’s Care Center or just left the area).
This happened after volunteers were seen praying and peacefully witnessing for life and telling about the support and free services available at the Women’s Care Center near Planned Parenthood.
Care Net’s new mobile clinic to bring services directly to women
Imagine this: You’re a young woman who thinks you might be pregnant. You’re scared and alone and not sure where to turn for help.
And then you see it, right in your neighborhood: a mobile medical clinic that offers free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.
Science supports pro-life cause
Being pro-life is not in opposition to science, as some people may think. It is quite the opposite, in fact.
That’s what organizers of the annual March for Life being held in Washington, D.C., assert on their website (https://marchforlife.org) in discussing the theme of this year’s event, “Unique from Day One.”
Caring for both babies and mothers
Some people criticize the pro-life movement for caring too much about unborn babies and not enough about their mothers. In my experience, their criticism is unfounded. Pro-lifers DO care about both babies and their mothers.
There really should not have to be a choice between a woman and her child. We as a society should be concerned about the life of both. Yet we realize that there are women facing crisis pregnancies. They are confused, alone, afraid.
Saving lives — one baby at a time
Pro-life individuals and organizations are working to change laws and public opinion, and they are making a difference in our state and across our nation.
Wisconsin experienced over a 10 percent decline in abortions in 2014, continuing a trend of fewer abortions during the past five years.
One way this has happened is that lives are being saved — one baby at a time — thanks to the commitment of pro-life pregnancy centers and volunteers.

MADISON — Bishop Robert C. Morlino of Madison visited Care Net Pregnancy Center on June 2, surrounded by children of various ages who have lived in the Elizabeth House.
Care Net staff and volunteers were grateful for the opportunity to pray with the bishop. The children received a blessing from Bishop Morlino.
The faithful of the Diocese of Madison, led by the bishop, have provided ongoing support to the Elizabeth House for 10 years. The diocesan partnership with Care Net helped make the Elizabeth House a reality during the capital campaign, and their ongoing investment has helped provide a safe place to make a change for vulnerable moms and babies.
“We are deeply grateful to the Lord that we have the Elizabeth House here,” said the bishop, “in a setting where we can work together as Catholics and other Christians.”

“We are grateful to Bishop Morlino and the faithful of the Diocese of Madison who have been instrumental in making it possible for women, babies, and families to be changed for generations over the past 10 years,” said Care Net’s Chief Executive Officer Liz Osborn. “We look forward to continuing to provide this safe and nurturing environment together with the diocese in the years ahead.”
The Elizabeth House, Care Net’s nine to 12-month goal-oriented residential maternity and parenting program, is designed to help pregnant women achieve stability and be prepared to care for themselves and their children.
Diocesan Respect Life Collection seeks to maintain and expand current programs
MADISON — This coming weekend, dioceses all over the country will be celebrating Respect Life Sunday, Oct. 7, where as Catholics we join together to acknowledge and profess the inestimable value of each and every human being from the moment of conception to natural death.
Respecting all life: There are many ways to help mothers, fathers, and babies
As we begin October, which is observed as Respect Life Month in the Catholic Church, it is a time for all of us to reflect on the gift of life and how we’re receiving it in our own lives.
The Catholic Church teaches that we must protect all human life from conception to natural death. We know that many people in our society disrespect and ignore the sanctity of life in many ways. This includes abortion, sterilization, embryonic stem-cell research, lack of support for disabled persons, disregard for the needs of the poor, and attempts to legalize assisted suicide.
The legalization of abortion in the United States has tragically led to the death of millions of unborn children. However, it seems as if pro-life efforts and education have brought about decreases in the number of abortions, including in our own state of Wisconsin.
Ideally, we must work and pray for the day when there will be no abortions. Until then, there are many ways we can help mothers to choose life for their unborn babies.
