“To hinder a birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in the seed” (Tertullian, 3rd century).
Reflection: The Lord’s dominion over life, and over the whole process of its coming and going, is the basis for our pro-life convictions. To say “No” to life at any stage of its development is to say “No” to God himself. (Fr. Frank Pavone)

The Pill Kills (Griswold v. Connecticut prayer vigil)
June 7 marks the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Courts decision Griswold v. Connecticut, which set a legal precedent by claiming the Constitution grants women the “right to privacy” in matters of sexual practice. This paved the way for Roe v. Wade and abortion on demand. As in years past, Pro-Life Wisconsin affiliates will observe the day with prayer and a community presence outside abortion mills and birth control centers.
Vigil for Life will host its vigil on Tuesday, June 7th at 10:30 a.m. on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood, 3706 Orin Rd., Madison. Join Dan Miller of Pro-Life Wisconsin to learn more about the dangers of the birth control pill.
Visit thepillkills.org for more information. Pro-Life Wisconsin is a proud co-sponsor of American Life League’s Pill Kills nationwide events.

Prayer for the Conversion of Planned Parenthood
Lord, for whom all things are possible,
We are confronted once again today
With the evil of the abortion industry
And the corruption found
In the world’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood.
Lord, we pray for all who plan to be parents, And we ask your mercy on those
Who teach others to reject parenthood.
In the light of your Word, Lord,
We affirm today that children are a blessing from you, And that the origin of all parenthood
Is likewise in You, the God of life and love.
Therefore, Oh God,
We stand against the evil that has been exposed In Planned Parenthood
And in the entire abortion industry.
We stand today for the triumph Of truth over falsehood,
Of light over darkness, And of life over death.
Bring an end to the killing of children in the womb, And bring an end to the sale of their body parts. Bring conversion to all who do this,
And enlightenment to all who advocate it.
Close the doors of the death camps in our midst, And open the doors of your mercy and healing! Close the grisly trade in baby body parts,
And open the abundant gifts of your salvation and life!
Hasten the day when our land
Will no longer be stained with innocent blood, And when the bodies of all your children Will be raised from the dead
And set free forever.
We pray in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen!
