“Exposing Abortion”
Pro-life student groups plan major statewide conference at UC-Berkeley featuring “chance to hear from some of the most dedicated advocates for life rights in our time”
Live Action, the youth-led movement dedicated to advancing the right to life, and California Students for Life, with affiliates at eight universities in the state, have joined together to sponsor “Exposing Abortion – the 8th Annual Celebrate Life Conference” on Saturday, April 25, at the University of California at Berkeley.
“We are dedicated to exposing the corruption in the abortion industry and showing abortion for what it really is -- an act of violence against our pre-born brothers and sisters,” says a flier announcing the conference. The event “will feature student activist training, interactive break-out sessions, and a chance to hear from some of the most dedicated advocates for life rights in our time,” said the announcement.
Among those scheduled to speak at the daylong conference are Lila Rose, president of Live Action, who has exposed Planned Parenthood cover-ups of statutory rape in several states; the Rev. Walter Hoye of Issues4Life, who is currently serving a 30-day jail sentence for violating Oakland’s ‘bubble ordinance’ outside an abortion clinic; Kristan Hawkins, executive director of Students for Life of America; Dr. William Hurlbut of the President's Council on Bioethics; Dr. Linda Halderman, policy advisor to state Sen. Sam Aanestad; Gregg Cunningham, executive director of the Center for Bioethical Reform; and Gianna Jessen, an abortion survivor.
Preliminary plans call for the event to be held in the 150-seat capacity Lipman Room of Barrows Hall on the UC-Berkeley campus, said David Daleiden, director of research for Live Action and a spokesman for the conference. Any change in location will be announced before April 25, he said.
The conference is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., and the $10 admission charge includes breakfast. Participants will be responsible for purchasing their own lunches or bringing a bag lunch.
“This conference is not just for college students,” the conference flier stressed. “If you are a high school student or anyone who wants to end abortion in America, please join us.”
