Pro-lifers to strategize at major retreat in Florida with Fr. Orsi next month
NAPLES, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — The Law of Life Summit is holding its second annual Pro-Life Retreat and Summit at New Hope Church in Naples, Florida, from March 20-24, during which committed pro-lifers will come together to learn about, brainstorm, and refine strategies for more effectively advancing a pro-life culture.
Law of Life Summit events are geared toward fostering community and an “atmosphere of camaraderie that encourages relationships on a national level, uniting organizations and advocates” and “energiz[ing] pro-life activists” to “impact pro-life legislation, the media, frontline organizations, and ultimately our culture.” With the abortion lobby pursuing a multi-pronged approach to preserve abortion “access” following the fall of Roe v. Wade, and finding alarming success with state constitutional amendments, the group considers it vital to strengthen the pro-life movement’s strategy and coordination to match the opposition.
“This is an incredible opportunity to energize and motivate people to get more involved in the pro-life movement, and not just be complacent because Roe is overturned,” Linda Freire, Regional Programs Manager of Sidewalk Advocates for Life, told LifeSiteNews. “I’m excited to share with people the effectiveness of the Sidewalk Advocates for Life philosophy of outreach, with amazing examples from where I live and work in South Florida – including the permanent closure of an abortion facility, thanks in part to the persistent, peaceful, prayerful presence of Sidewalk Advocates.
Jean Marie Davis, executive director of Branches Pregnancy Resource Center in Vermont, will be a special guest at the event. At the 2024 March for Life, Davis shared her story of being a victim of human trafficking starting at just two years old, setting her on a life path of horrific abuse that eventually left her pregnant and homeless – until she crossed paths with Phyllis Phelps, through which she turned her life around and got into the business of life-affirming alternatives to abortion and support for women in need.
