Pro-Life Wisconsin joins American Life League in telling the truth about contraception

June 7 marks the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court 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.
American Life League has taken our Griswold v. Connecticut observances to a national level. Visit thepillkills.com for more information. Pro-Life Wisconsin is a proud co-sponsor of American Life League's Pill Kills nationwide events, including a live teleconference.
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. Vigils will conclude with a celebration of the family.
