Students for Life of Michigan activism and training conference starts April 5
Students for Life of Michigan is holding its annual “Activism & Training Conference” from Friday, April 5 to Saturday, April 6, 2013. This activism and training event is the only statewide conference in Michigan for pro-life college students. Students are gathering from campuses all across Michigan to hear powerful messages from pro-life leaders.
Students for Life of Michigan is an organization of pro-life college students, established to promote a culture of life on college campuses in Michigan. Their mission is to end abortion by recruiting and training students for pro-life leadership, networking students within their communities to strengthen their impact, and recruiting and training students for pro-life leadership.
The activism and training weekend gives pro-life students a time to come together for education, networking, and fellowship. Students will get to meet local pro-life speakers and link up with organizations that support their pro-life work on campus.
The 2013 conference will feature pro-life leaders from Michigan, including activist and author Dr. Monica Miller; Legislative Director for Right to Life of Michigan Ed Rivet; Jenny Klein from Bethany Christian Services; Christen Houck, the executive director of Students for Life of Michigan; and Brendon O’Morchoe, field director for Students for life of America.
Students attending the conference will also receive valuable pro-life training from attorney and speaker Rebecca Kiessling and David Haker, an attorney at Alliance Defending Freedom.
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
The conference kicks off Friday night with a pizza dinner and pro-life activism at Grand Valley State’s University campus. Saturday’s event schedule begins with a morning prayer protest and sidewalk-counseling at a Planned Parenthood in Grand Rapids, MI. The rest of the day is filled with talks and informative breakout sessions. Breakout session topics include “Know your Rights on Campus,” “The Rape Exception,” “Apologetics Training,” and a discussion panel for club presidents.
The conference will offer lots of pro-life literature and resources for college groups. There are even prizes for groups who bring the most students. In an article describing the conference, Students for Life of Michigan writes:
You will learn how to defeat Planned Parenthood, legally stand up against campus administrators that try to silence you, and defend your beliefs against the most difficult pro-abortion arguments. This is a great way to engage new members of your group and help even the most seasoned members learn more about abortion.
