Sanctity of Human Life Month
January is Sanctity of Human Life Month, officially designated as such in 1984 by then-President Ronald Reagan. During this month, we recognize the importance and value of every life, while also mourning the legalizing of abortion on demand all across the country by a rogue US Supreme Court on January 22, 1973—a court that acted in a judicially activist manner, resulting in the extinguishing of over 61 million babies while still in their mothers’ womb.
On Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, January 19, it is important for churches to preach and teach on the sanctity of life, which is a biblical issue not a political one. We hope churches all across Wisconsin will do something during a Sunday service either this Sunday or next Sunday to reinforce God’s Truth about life and the atrocity of abortion.
In other recent pro-life developments...
Benjamin Yount, author for The Center Square, writes, "U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and Republican Congressmen Jim Sensenbrenner, Bryan Steil, and Glenn Grothman this week all signed a letter along with about 200 other Republicans asking the Supreme Court to reconsider the case that has legalized abortion in this country for more than 45 years....Only Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher from Green Bay didn’t sign the letter."
Julaine Appling, WFA president, says, "I am deeply appreciative of those of our congressional delegation who signed this timely letter to the high court. It’s regrettable that Representative Gallagher took a pass on this and is relying on his very limited voting record. Senator Johnson and Representatives Sensenbrenner and Grothman have strong, long-standing pro-life voting records and still saw the importance of this letter."

Critical Elections on the Horizon
WI Spring Primary is Tuesday, February 18, 2020
From last week's Wisconsin Family Connection radio program, Julaine Appling WFA president states, "The spring primary that is fast approaching will have only one statewide race and that will be for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Incumbent Justice Dan Kelly, who was appointed to the state’s high court by Governor Scott Walker when Justice David Prosser resigned, is up for election. To date, Justice Kelly is opposed by Dane County Judge Jill Karofsky and Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone. The primary will reduce the field to two candidates. In addition to this statewide race, many areas will have local primaries in addition to this statewide race."
Click HERE to read "Election Year, Here We Come!" that gives extremely valuable information from WFA president Julaine Appling regarding the Supreme Court race as well as other statewide races. Share this information far and wide with friends, family and neighbors. Many are not aware of the critical nature of the Supreme Court race or the spring primary. You can be a voice in your community!
NOTE: Our new Voter Information Publication (Voter Guide) will soon be available so you can compare the Supreme Court candidates. Stay tuned!

The Science of Cohabitation
Written by Dr. Jim Burns for Home Word:
"Today, a majority of couples consider cohabitation before or instead of marriage an option. In fact, the rise of cohabitation around the world is a statistic of sociological change. Despite what many people think, I believe cohabitation isn’t the strongest option for building toward a healthy future marriage. Some have called it 'practice marriage' or 'pretend marriage,' it’s neither."
>>>>Read " The Science and Hidden Consequences of Cohabitation" HERE.
Julaine Appling, WFA president, adds, "Essentially cohabitation is the death-knell for a future marriage. That shouldn’t surprise us since God’s plan, as revealed in His Word, is marriage, not cohabitation. Christian families and churches, if they are truly interested in what is best for their young people, will strongly counsel them to trust God and be obedient to His teaching—for their own good."
