Do you ever wonder about becoming more involved
in an
outreach which saves lives? There are not many causes which allow
you to use
your time and talent in ways which help mothers and families and
literally save
the lives of babies preparing to be born. Right to Life of
Michigan is one of
those causes.
Right to Life of Michigan is an organization of
people who
acknowledge that human life is precious and irreplaceable. The
values we
embrace lead us to reject the taking of human life to solve the
challenges of
life itself. We reject the
pessimism
that concludes human life must be taken to better the lives of
others.
Whether you are new to the prolife movement or
have been
involved in the past, please consider joining Right to Life of
Michigan and others for an informative, fun
one-day conference.
The Right to Life of Michigan 40th Annual
Conference is Friday,
September 27, at the Radisson Hotel Lansing. The Conference will
feature two
outstanding general sessions.
The first general session, “Beyond the Bumper
Sticker: Human
Dignity and our Common Humanity,” will be presented by Paige
Comstock
Cunningham. Paige Comstock Cunningham, JD, is the executive
director of The
Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity. Cunningham lectures
regularly on
bioethical issues and has published numerous articles, editorials
and book
chapters on issues of law, public policy and bioethics. She has
testified
before Congress and has a regular commentary on Moody Radio called
“Everyday
Bioethics.”
The second general session, “A Rape Survivor’s
Story of
Birth & Life,” will feature Shauna Prewitt. Shauna Prewitt,
JD, is an
author, attorney, advocate and public speaker. While attending the
University
of Chicago, Shauna was a victim of sexual assault. Soon
thereafter, she learned
she was pregnant from her attack. After deciding to continue the
pregnancy and
raise her child, Shauna was shocked when her attacker sought
custody of her
baby girl. She was even more astonished when she learned that few
legal
protections exist to protect the women who become mothers after
rape. Spurred
by these events, Shauna made a commitment to do what she could to
change
custody laws around the nation.
A delicious breakfast and lunch along with a
variety of
workshops makes the day complete. To register for the Friday,
