By now you’ve surely heard that this Saturday, January 30, a coalition of Illinois pro-life groups will be hosting the annual SpeakOut Illinois conference.
Kline, Rose, and Ruse to Speak
Then you’ll also know that three excellent speakers will be sharing their experiences and stories with us:
- Phill Kline, former Kansas Attorney General, with a talk entitled The Foundation of Liberty and the Rule of Law—the Need for Truth
- Lila Rose of Live Action Films, with a talk entitled Exposing the Truth About Planned Parenthood
- Austin Ruse, President of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), who will receive the Henry Hyde Life Leadership Award and give a talk entitled The UN Threat to Life, Faith and Family and How Christians Are Fighting Back
Passport For Life
While, undoubtedly, you’ll be coming primarily to hear these excellent speakers, there is an added bonus to those who attend: the Passport For Life Drawing.
Each year sponsoring organizations give gifts to be raffled off. To enter, attendees simply visit 20 of the nearly 30 sponsor booths, chatting about what that organization does and how they can become involved. They will then get a sticker from that booth to place in their Passport. After collecting 20 stickers, participants drop their form into the basket.
