The Diocesan Office of Pro-Life is supported through a generous bequest from Monica Meyer.  Each year, money from the Monica Meyer Fund is awarded for Respect Life Anti-Abortion programs in the Diocese of Green Bay. Click here to learn more about the grant and application.

The “Women’s Health Protection Act” (H.R. 3755/S. 1975) would impose abortion on demand, at any stage of pregnancy. It would apply nationwide—even in states that don’t want it.

This includes parental notification for minor girls, informed consent, and health or safety protections for abortion facilities.
