National Teens for Life Convention: Celebrate Life and Liberty on July 4th!

Combine tons of fun, the best pro-life speakers in the country, and fabulous fireworks above the Washington Monument with good food and great friends, and what do you have?

The National Teens for Life (NTL) Convention, of course! This year's convention will be held in the beautiful Washington, D.C., area, the perfect place to bring the whole family (or local Teens for Life group) for a vacation combined with the pro-life educational opportunity of a lifetime. As always it will run parallel to the National Right to Life Convention (see pages 10, 14, and 15).

Fabulous speakers will headline sessions and workshops with topics geared specifically to teens ages 12 to 19. Teenagers are the future of the pro-life movement, but they also play a vital role in the fight for life today. We must give them the tools they need to carry the message of life into their schools, churches, and communities.

Teens and college students are truly on the front lines of the fight against abortion. They have lost between a quarter and a third of their generation and are the age group most vulnerable to abortion.

Pro-life young people need to be trained in order to stand in the gap for life where abortion hits the hardesthigh schools and college campuses. The NTL Convention will give them the training they need to make a difference and to save lives.

Teens attending this year's convention will hear from elected officials, medical professionals, and pro-life experts in a variety of fields. Topics will range from scientific (fetal development, stem cells, and cloning) to practical (how to answer the hard questions on abortion, how to start a local Teens for Life group) and beyond.

Speakers will include Bobby Schindler and Suzanne Schindler Vitadamo, siblings of the late Terri Schindler Schiavo. Their heartfelt, first-person story of the horrors of euthanasia will touch hearts and motivate attendees to action.
