Melissa Ohden to be the Keynote Speaker at the Annual Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia on Nov 19th

The Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia has hosted the annual Stand Up For Life Dinner since 1982. This incredible event brings together more than 1,300 people to celebrate the Culture of Life. This event also has a strong youth presence of more than 300 students from area schools. Among our past keynote speakers are recognized politicians, authors, and cultural leaders.

This year, we are excited to have as our speaker Melissa Ohden, abortion survivor. Melissa was fourteen years old when she found out from her adoptive mom that she had literally survived a failed abortion. She will tell us her amazing story and how her life came full circle when she gave birth to her own daughter at the same hospital where her life was almost ended.

It's Dinner Time for Life

                                         

Since its inception in 1982, the annual Stand Up for Life Dinner has gathered pro-lifers old and young from infant to elderly to celebrate the accomplishment pro-lifers have achieved in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

The year the Pro-Life Union has invited Karen Gaffney, founder of the Gaffney Foundation, to be the guest speaker.

Gaffney was the first woman with down syndrome to swim across the English Channel in an open water competition during the Olympics which earned her a medal.

This selections comes at a great time since 9 out of 10 babies diagnosed with down syndrome do not come to full term. Gaffney is an inspiration to many people.

The dinner will be held on Sunday November 20th at Downtown Sheraton Hotel at 17th and Race Streets, across from the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul with free parking available at their lot.
