Rally opposing late-term abortions
to be held Saturday in Madison


This Saturday, a pro-life rally will be held on the University of Wisconsin campus in opposition to the proposed plan for a late-term abortion center in Madison. Joining thousands of pro-lifers from across the state, and a number of pro-life groups, will be Chris Slattery, a nationally recognized pro-life activist.

"We couldn't be more excited to bring Chris Slattery in from New York to lead our rally on Saturday," said Peggy Hamill, State Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. "We ask that all concerned pro-lifers make every effort to attend this historic event."

The rally to oppose plans to perform late-term abortions at the Madison Surgery Center will be held on Library Mall (the 700 block of State Street) at 12 p.m. on Saturday, February 6.

Slattery will speak to the crowd at Library Mall and lead the pro-life march to the Madison Surgery Center. Almost 2,000 people attended last year's pro-life rally in Madison.

The event is organized by Pro-Life Wisconsin and Vigil for Life of Madison.
