More than 200 people attended the Focus on Life Benefit dinner for the Right to Life in Washtenaw County. Dr. Alveda King, a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the guest speaker. During her talk she showed family photos.
After she had two abortions, her Uncle Martin Luther told her – you need to stop this. She now speaks about God’s forgiveness and healing. She speaks about the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.
Emily Messiter was the winner of the oratory contest. In her talk she shared, “If, however, we make a conscious effort to build up all human life around us, to affirm others for their intrinsic value … any excuse to destroy life will fall before us, and we will truly be a pro-life generation on the rise.”
The Right to Life of Michigan is part of the Silent No More campaign. This initiative would require insurance companies who provide abortion insurance to charge additional premiums for this coverage. Karen Walacavage says that the Right to Life of Michigan turned in petitions with 315,000 signatures.
