Searching for, finding God all around us

We have been watching old family videos lately from when our children were very young.

“I’m so grateful we have these videos,” I told my husband, “because there is so much I don’t remember from those chaotic years.”

Gwen Finnegan

Amidst chants of “‘pro-life, it’s a lie — they don’t care if women die”‘ from a group of counter protesters organized by the International Socialist Organization out of Madison, about 60 pro-lifers from the Diocese of Madison gathered together for a Defund Planned Parenthood Rally on Saturday, Feb. 11.

A civilized nation does not kill babies

What a sight! Over 25 times from the top of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., I have seen a sea of people marching to proclaim the dignity of unborn human life, and how death-dealing abortion sends the unholy message that some human beings are disposable.

As I write, I am a just one day away from marching with and viewing that sea of people once again. It’s always a moral and spiritual shot-in-the-arm for me.

Shocked out of complacency: Abortions only at Planned Parenthood

Guest Column

I must make an embarrassing confession: I am a complacent pro-lifer.

I never thought of myself this way, but it is true. And I have proof.

Abortions only

Beginning May 2, 2016, the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Madison’s east side began providing only abortion services; it will no longer provide screenings or dispense contraceptives.

Easter Triduum 40 Hours for Life vigil to end abortion

MADISON — There’s no time like the days of the Easter Triduum to venture to the sidewalk to pray for women and men contemplating abortion, that they might choose life.

As we ponder Christ’s crucifixion and death at Calvary on Good Friday, it is appropriate to remember that Christ died for all our sins, including the sin of abortion committed by so many in our country.

New laws cut state Planned Parenthood funding

WAUKESHA — Governor Scott Walker signed two bills into law February 18 that, together, are expected to eliminate approximately $8 million in public funding from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI), the state’s largest abortion provider.

Assembly Bill 310 redirects federal Title X family planning funds away from organizations that perform abortions to public entities including state, county, and local health departments and clinics. This will eliminate $3.5 million from PPWI.
