Rally for Life to Feature Jim Sedlak this Saturday


Pro-Life Wisconsin and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society are expecting more than one hundred pro-lifers to gather Saturday in Milwaukee for the annual Rally for Life. This year, the Rally will feature Jim Sedlak, the vice president of American Life League and director of STOPP (an arm of ALL that focuses on Planned Parenthood.)

The Rally for Life will be held Saturday, January 17, at Three Holy Women Parish, St. Rita’s Church, 1601 N. Cass St., and will include Mass at 9:30 a.m., celebrated by Father James Kubicki, the national director of the Apostleship of Prayer. Mass will be followed by a procession and prayerful public witness at the Affiliated abortion clinic in downtown Milwaukee. The Rally for Life will conclude with a luncheon featuring Jim Sedlak as the keynote speaker.

“We’re delighted to welcome Jim Sedlak as he joins us in this large-scale public statement about the horror of abortion,” said Peggy Hamill, State Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. “We look forward to the day when the killing of innocent children will be over.”

American Life League is a pro-life educational organization dedicated to the total protection of all innocent human beings from fertilization to natural death.

Jim Sedlak’s appearance is especially timely, given the plans of the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC) and Meriter Hospital to provide a full range of second-trimester abortions at the Madison Surgery Center, located at 1 South Park Street.

Several Wisconsin legislators will also be attending, addressing gathered pro-lifers about their political commitment to the preborn children of Wisconsin.

The event is sponsored by Pro-Life Wisconsin and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society.
