A campaign against late-term abortions in Wisconsin has proved victorious, and one supporter of the effort feels it should be an encouragement to the rest of the country.
After an almost two-year struggle to convince the University of Wisconsin to drop its plans to perform late-term abortions at a medical center in Madison, the school agreed and now says it will also refrain from doing them elsewhere. Virginia Zignego of Pro-Life Wisconsin tells OneNewsNow it took a number of approaches to convince the school, including the participation of thousands in prayer vigils during that period.
Virginia Zignego"We have aired hundreds of pro-life television commercials in the Madison area, which emphasized the humanity of the pre-born," she reports. "Tens of thousands of people signed a pro-life petition, and hundreds of people boycotted the Madison Surgery Center."
She believes the success in Madison should warm the hearts of pro-life individuals throughout the rest of the country.
"Overwhelmingly, Americans have shown that they are more and more pro-life, and this really shows the impact that average people can have when they stand together," the Wisconsin pro-lifer notes.
After much success for the pro-life cause throughout the state, Zignego reports that only one late-term abortion center remains in Milwaukee and continues to kill viable babies.
