Last year’s “Mary’s Ultrasound” billboards (above) were a huge success, in communities across Wisconsin. Viewers in Milwaukee, Green Bay, La Crosse and beyond were touched by a simple image of the preborn Christ Child. The pro-life effort raised the ire of the former president of Catholics for Choice, Frances Kissling, who wrote about the billboards in the Washington Post.
Kissling even referred to Pro-Life Wisconsin as the “grinches that stole Christmas!”
And now, thanks to some awesome PLW supporters, the billboards are back!
You can find the billboard in Milwaukee, Green Bay and La Crosse. The billboards feature an ultrasound image of Baby Jesus, with a halo and the words “He’s on His way… Christmas starts with Christ.”
The Milwaukee billboard is located at the intersection of N. Humboldt Blvd. and E. North Ave.
The Green Bay billboard is located on Highway 41, south of Green Bay, facing northbound traffic. To see the billboard on a map, click here. We would like to especially recognize 40 Days for Life of Green Bay. Due to their invaluable assistance, the Green Bay billboard was made possible.
The La Crosse billboard is located at the intersection of George St. and Clinton St. (near the Caledonia St. Options Clinic).
The image on the billboards placed by Pro-Life Wisconsin is compliments of ChurchAds, a Christian nonprofit in England, dedicated to the idea of keeping Christ in Christmas.
We encourage people to download the image and distribute it at schools, parishes and anywhere else that would benefit from seeing the joyful preborn Baby Jesus.
