WHAT: American Life League's Personhood Conference
WHEN: Jan. 23, 2009 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
WHERE: Liaison Hotel, Washington, D.C.
WHO: Pro-life leaders Judie Brown, president of American Life League; David Bereit, leader of the 40 Days for Life campaign; adult stem cell pioneer Dr. Theresa Deisher; Kristi Burton of the Colorado Personhood movement; and Live Action Films president Lila Rose.
WHY: Days after the inauguration of the most pro-abortion president in the nation's history, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers from across the country descend on Washington, D.C. to respond with a message of personhood.
At ALL's Personhood Conference, the pro-life movement's most influential leaders explain the cultural and legislative necessity of recognition of all human beings as persons from the moment of creation until natural death.
"Personhood refocuses the pro-life movement on the issues of human rights and human dignity," said ALL President, Judie Brown. "It strikes at the root of all the cultural battles the pro-life movement has fought for the last 35 years in a way that flawed incrementalism never will. We're excited to herald the rejuvenation of the personhood movement - the last real battle in the civil rights movement."
