As a local pro-life group we have become increasingly convinced that whilst many of us are intuitively pro-life, we need to be better at articulating...
“why we believe what we believe”
In the abortion debate, if we are ever going to get better traction and claw back the lost ground, we will need to upskill.
Furthermore, we are conscious that the grass roots membership rarely comes together to learn, to inspire, and to network.
