On November 13, 2007 Colorado Right to Life hosted thirty five prominent pro-life leaders at a national summit in Denver, Colorado. The gathering is to form a new national organization to lead American back to the legal protection of all human life from fertilization to natural death.
The leaders attending the summit have grown weary of years of compromised child killing regulation by National Right to Life and other representatives of the “pro-life industry,” including Concerned Women for America and Jay Sekulo’s American Center for Law and Justice.
Workshops included several on controversial topics such as contraception and the death penalty. The main focus of the workshops was to solidify the new organization’s vision and strategy for an uncompromised approach to end the slaughter of the innocent, born and pre-born.
Workshops were led by Presidential candidate, Dr. Alan Keyes, American Life League President, Judie Brown, Reverend Flip Benham as well as Georgia State Representative, Martin Scott. Representative Scott highlighted the efforts of Georgia Right to Life and the state legislature to establish Personhood for pre-born babies.
In a serendipitous turn of events, the Colorado State Supreme Court granted Colorado for Equal Rights permission to proceed with the signature gathering phase of Colorado’s Personhood Amendment.
An impromptu press conference was convened and proponent, Kristine Burton, Dr. Keyes and Judie Brown gave comments to the press and explained the need for Coloradans to gather 76,000 signatures to place the measure on the ballot.
We have consistently seen God’s hand at work as we stand on His word as the basis for all our efforts as we honor Him and protect the babies. Yesterday’s events were a stunning example of how God works with us and blesses us as we uncompromisingly stand on His word. Reverend Benham proclaimed, “We’ve been 40 years in the wilderness and now the Lord is giving us another opportunity to walk back into the promised land. The abortion holocaust began in Colorado and now it is fitting that we lead America back to protecting innocent life.”
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
