Pro-Life Wisconsin reveals truth
of Planned Parenthood’s deceptive campaign


Speaking on statewide radio this week, Pro-Life Wisconsin state director Peggy Hamill expressed outrage over the deceptive planned partnership of the City of Milwaukee Health Department and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI). This so-called service agreement is nothing more than Planned Parenthood enlisting the city to invest in and promote their self-perpetuating big business.

“The key to maintaining a big business is to attract clients who will need to keep coming back for the services that you provide,” stated Hamill. “Unfortunately, PPWI seems to have mastered the art of self-perpetuating their big business by enabling promiscuity in teens and adults. Through services, advertising, publications, website and other means, PPWI is creating new clients who will ‘require’ what Planned Parenthood gladly provides and profits from.”

Well-financed lobbyists protect PPWI’s business interests. With an annual operating budget of $15.9 million, PPWI receives 23% of that in local, state and federal tax revenue.

Meanwhile, in Madison, Pro-Life Wisconsin’s legislative affairs director Matt Sande lobbies and testifies to protect the consciences and employment of Wisconsin’s health care workers (especially pharmacists), as well as Wisconsin taxpayers and health insurers, from being forced to participate in Planned Parenthood’s deceptive campaign.
