MADISON — The outside temperatures were in the single digits but dozens of hearts were on fire to protect the lives of the unborn.
During the noon hour on January 12, pro-life supporters and state lawmakers gathered on the steps of the State Capitol for a Rally for Life.
The event was co-sponsored by Pro-Life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Family Action, and Wisconsin Right to Life.
The home of the state’s lawmaking chambers served as a backdrop to call attention to three pro-life bills with hopes both the State Assembly and State Senate will pass them before the session closes in March. They include:• Assembly Bill 305/Senate Bill 260, which bans the sale and use of the body parts of aborted babies in Wisconsin.
• Assembly Bill 310/Senate Bill 237, which redirects money from the Title X grant program away from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
