On an 87-10 bipartisan vote, the Wisconsin Assembly passed Assembly Bill (AB) 43 last Tuesday, legislation introduced in a misguided attempt to reduce unplanned pregnancies. The bill, authored by State Representative Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay) and State Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara (R-Appleton), permits pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraceptive patches (the Patch) and self-administered oral hormonal contraceptives (the Pill) to persons 18 years of age and older.

Did you know that June 14, 2025, marks the annual March for Life Wisconsin? On the second Saturday of June, hundreds if not thousands of pro-life, pro-family people from communities around Wisconsin will gather together at the State Street steps at the State Capitol in Madison from 2-4pm. There, we will rally with speakers who will address a variety of pro-life, pro-family topics as we support women and their babies and “embrace them both.”

The person we want to see there?

I woke up to darkness and pounding rain on the morning of Good Friday.

Then, I started to think about what our Pro-Life Stations of the Cross would look like in pouring rain. Anxiety settled in, and I began doubting the “why” of the entire event. But then I said a quick prayer and brushed it off, saying to myself, “The rains will be over and gone by the time we begin to make the journey to that awful place. Everything is going to be alright.”

“They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”

Thanks to the Apostles and disciples who were there that first Easter morning, we now know what happened…

Every three to four days, a baby is abandoned in America. Despite that all 50 states have enacted the Safe Haven Law, which allows women in crisis to safely surrender their newborns without facing consequences or prosecution, babies are discarded in dumpsters or other hazardous locations and left to die.

However, thanks to efforts by the Racine Fire Department, Racine Knights of Columbus, Council 15659, Pro-Life Wisconsin, and Wisconsin Right to Life, the first Safe Haven Baby Box located on the outside of Racine’s Fire Station 4, 3829 Washington Ave., Racine, WI, will serve as a secure place where a parent can safely and anonymously place their newborn.
