We just finished listening to the 10 hour long Ending Abortion Webcast. We heard from 35 of the nation’s most influential pro-life leaders. 30 different pro-life organizations were represented in all.
There was so much great information and inspiration packed into each and every session that it’s hard to appreciate the weight of it all. Every session is available for replay on the official website. You can even download each session in MP3 format to use any way you wish. David Bereit, National Campaign Director for 40 Days for Life and coordinator of this event, encourages everyone to share these recordings in any way you can – no strings attached.
Here are a few highlights and quotes from the virtual conference:
- We heard the chilling and horrifying details of Planned Parenthood’s agenda and influence on our public schools from Carol Everett, Former abortion clinic owner.
- Scott Klusendorf explained the 3-minute case for life using the SLED principal, which we learned about in detail during this spring’s Pro-life Ambassadorship training.
- We learned about Planned Parenthood’s illegal activities from Live Action Films’ Lila Rose
- “The most important thing any student group can do is be in front of the abortion clinic.” – Kristan Hawkins
- “God doesn’t call the equipped. He equips the called.” – David Bereit
- “The most important thing anyone can do to bring about the end of abortion is PRAY.” – Matt Lockett
- “Anyone can save a baby from abortion.” – Kristan Hawkins
- “Prayer and fasting is the greatest form of activism that we can engage in.” – Matt Lockett
- “You can see in poll after poll [that] this generation is pro-life!” – Kristan Hawkins
- “The answer to ending abortion rests on our young people” – Jim Nolan
- Bryan Kemper shared a very moving story about a friend of his who passed away this week. He said, “Every day I wake up is a day that I’m not promised, but God has given me that day … to stand up for those without a voice.”
- “We can’t change the past. We’re not promised the future. All we have is right now, and it’s a gift.” – David Bereit
- “If we don’t take back Hollywood and our culture, we CAN’T win.” – Jason Jones
It’s impossible to summarize the wealth of information we heard today, so please listen to the session replays if you didn’t get a chance to hear it live. You won’t regret it.
In other news, UWF Students for Life has an official banner! Our unofficial historian won it in an online contest. It’s a 24″ x 36″ vinyl banner, and should last us a while:
We actually received this months ago, and today, we won $100 worth of stickers (in another online contest) from another printing company. We have promotional materials! God is truly providing for us and continues to bless our efforts!
