State Sen. Romaine Quinn (R-Cameron) and State Rep. Joy Goeben (R-Hobart) have introduced companion legislation (Senate Bill [SB] 553/Assembly Bill [AB] 546) that provides definitional clarity in Wisconsin abortion law.
The bills do so by amending the various statutory definitions of “abortion” to make explicit that a physician’s performance of a medical procedure or treatment designed or intended to prevent the death of a pregnant woman and not designed or intended to kill the unborn child is not an abortion.
July 2025 saw the landscape of our laws in Wisconsin shift and settle back to the Roe days with the dismissal of Planned Parenthood v. Urmanski and Kaul v. Urmanski decision which saw the fall of our 1849 abortion ban. Let’s take a look at each of these to see what we are now up against with the future of the Pro-Life Movement in Wisconsin.
We are greatly saddened to announce that Care for All WI, an abortion center, has now opened their doors in Milwaukee. They are located at 756 N 35th Street, Suite 204, Milwaukee, WI 53208.

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?
This evening in a 4-2 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned Governor Evers' executive order issued earlier today that would have postponed in-person voting until June 9. Tomorrow's general election will proceed as planned. The Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC endorsed Justice Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court in January.
Led by Senator André Jacque (R-De Pere), 31 Republican state lawmakers sent a letter to Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Andrea Palm demanding her immediate action to “ensure a halt to the operation of abortion facilities in Wisconsin for the duration of the declared public health emergency.”
It started with a small, candlelight vigil at the abortion center with Bishop Jeffrey Haines on February 17, 2020. It was cold and rainy. I was honored to hold an umbrella for Bishop Haines. On February 26, Ash Wednesday, Archbishop Jerome Listecki joined us in prayer. Clergy came to pray with us through all the days of this campaign.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of yet another increase in the number of abortions in 2018. Each and every human life, no matter the circumstance of his or her conception, is made in the image and likeness of God. Despite the ardent efforts of pro-lifers across Wisconsin, 406 more babies died from abortion in 2018 than in 2017.
On Thursday, February 13, Pro-Life Wisconsin Legislative Director Matt Sande testified before the Assembly Committee on Health in support of Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) 130, known as the Wisconsin Personhood Amendment, legislation extending the inalienable right to life already found in the Wisconsin Constitution to all preborn children from the beginning of their lives.
The Assembly Committee on Health will hold a public hearing on Assembly Joint Resolution 130, known as the Wisconsin Personhood Amendment, this Thursday, February 13, at 9:01 a.m. in Room 412 East of the State Capitol. The legislation extends the inalienable right to life already found in the Wisconsin Constitution to all preborn children from the beginning of their lives.
The pro-life movement is founded on the bedrock principle that all human beings, at all stages of their development, deserve equal protection under the law. To that end, State Representatives Joe Sanfelippo (R-New Berlin) and Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls) and State Senator Andre Jacque (R-De Pere) have begun circulating for co-sponsorship the Wisconsin Personhood Amendment, legislation that extends the inalienable right to life already found in the Wisconsin Constitution to all preborn children from the beginning of their lives.
