Money well spent: Give to Women's Support Centers of Milwaukee


In the end, a tiny newborn T-shirt and receiving blanket broke down the wall of a woman’s heart. Her teenage daughter was pregnant and she was encouraging her to obtain an abortion. But the two walked into the Women’s Support Center of Milwaukee and into the arms of Mary Gilpin.

The executive director counseled the grandmother-to-be about the benefits of life, of opening up to God’s will, and of the long-term physical and emotional effects of abortion.

The mom was giving her daughter all the reasons for having the abortion, so I brought in the tiny undershirt and blanket and the girl kept looking at it,” Gilpin said. “It brought the reality of the baby to both of them, and helped begin an attachment between the teen and the baby growing inside her – and she went on to have the baby.”

That’s just one of the many success stories Gilpin has been part of as director of the Women’s Support Center.

It's from an older article but let's make a point to support these organizations who are saving lives.  Make sure the groups are not supporting contraceptives and other self destructive behaviors.  Women's Support Centers of Milwaukee is giving the right kind of help to women in need.

I know of some people who are trying to establish one in La Crosse as well. Prayers are needed for their success.
