WHEN: January 21, 2010, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
WHERE: Washington Court Hotel 525 New Jersey Avenue Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20001
WHO:
Rev. Stephen Broden, Senior Pastor, Fair Park Bible Fellowship, Dallas, Texas

Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., pastoral associate with Priests for Life and founder of King for America

Dr. Dianne Irving, Georgetown University Professor and Medical Ethicist
Rev. Stephen Broden has been a leading voice in the media against racist, anti-life health care reform legislation which he calls "black genocide" and was a featured speaker at the 9/12 rally in Washington, D.C. He will present a "Big Country Approach to Pro-Life."
WHY: In the last year, human personhood efforts have swept the nation as a radically reignited movement to restore respect for the human rights due each human person from his or her biological beginning. Eight states have formally launched human personhood amendment campaigns to their state constitutions and dozens more are organizing initiatives.
The controversial movement is a dramatic shift from pro-life strategy of the last 30 years and is causing controversy even within the pro-life movement itself.
The Human Personhood Conference at American Life League's TAW will bring together leaders who, in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr., look to establish human rights for all human beings because every human being deserves equal rights under the law and in the culture.

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
