A Grim Reminder of the Loss of Life

Last Wednesday, a Planned Parenthood-scheduled abortion day, something very rare occurred that I would like to share with you and ask for your prayers for all concerned.

As we were praying and sidewalk counseling, a funeral home vehicle pulled into the parking lot. The driver went into the abortuary, came out a short time later with a small package, and then drove off. 

Although a rare occurrence, sidewalk counselors have reported this type of thing in the past. It is a stark reminder that we ARE dealing with the loss of human life; there ARE  human remains resulting from abortion.  Funeral homes deal with human remains and we are thankful that they offer a humane way of burial, that, in their hands, babies are not discarded or used improperly.

As always, please pray for the repose of the souls of these lives tragically taken.

National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children
Please mark your calendars for this special day!  More information is to come but on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013, Pro-Life Wisconsin will be participating in a National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children to honor the gravesites of our unborn brothers and sisters.  Go to www.abortionmemorials.com to learn more about this call to action!  This link will also be posted on vigilforlife.org; please share this so that eyes can be opened and hearts changed.

Info You Can Use on the Sidewalk:
  • The following link is a useful tool to help you with questions and talking points regarding the birth control pill and other birth control products.  Whether you are out at Planned Parenthood, the workplace, or wherever the debate comes up about birth control, this information will give you the resources to educate and change minds.  Please become knowledgeable about dangerous side effects and the facts of how artificial contraception kills mothers and babies.  This link will also be posted on vigilforlife.org.  
  • As you may recall, an ambulance was called to Planned Parenthood on June 5, 2013.  Steve Karlen has composed an abortion fact sheet which can be given to abortion-minded clients.  It is a one-page personal greeting to those entering the abortion mill urging them to consider the health and safety risks involved with abortion and encouraging them to get another opinion at the Women's Care Center.  Thank you, Steve, for this well done information sheet!  It will be posted on vigilforlife.org.
