Catholic Madison

Madison will host Wisconsin's Second Annual Defend Life Rally at noon on Feb. 6 on UW-Madison's Library Mall. The event, organized by Vigil for Life, Pro-Life Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Family Council and sponsored by Wisconsin Right to Life, the Diocese of Madison, and the State of Wisconsin Knights of Columbus will be headlined by pro-life activist extraordinaire Chris Slattery of New York City.

Slattery opened EMC Frontline Pregnancy Center in Manhattan 25 years ago, pioneering the use of on-site ultrasound (including 3-D, 4D, and mobile ultrasound units) and pre-natal care in a crisis center. At least 34,000 women served by one of EMC's 13 fixed or mobile locations have chosen Life. Slattery also leads New York City's 40 Days for Life campaign, which has saved more than 250 babies.

The rally will conclude with a march to the Madison Surgery Center. There is a public parking ramp located about a block from Library Mall at 415 N. Lake St.
