The one-day event will see leading pro-life figures and speakers share their knowledge and build community support, something legal scholar and advocate Joanna Howe says will prove to be a “pivotal turning point” for Australia’s pro-life movement.
Dr Howe said in an Instagram post the summit was “an opportunity for a new generation to stand up and advocate on behalf of our most vulnerable Australians”.
“The goal of our movement is to make abortion unthinkable,” Dr Howe said.
Leading pro-life politicians Nick Goiran and Robbie Katter will share their stories of the uphill battle against the country’s lucrative abortion industry.
Advocates Rachael Wong, Joe de Bruyn, Rachel Carling and Lana Carmel, and health professionals Donna Harrison and Melissa Lai, will also speak.
Midwife whistleblower on the abortion industry Louise Adsett will round out a packed schedule.
The summit will also include the first National Life Awards, an opportunity to recognise individuals who have made an “outstanding contribution” to the pro-life movement.
The categories include Lifetime Achievement, Politics, Health, Community, Media and Emerging Leader. Nominations are open from members of the public and will close at 5pm on November 17.
The summit is split into two streams, one for the general public and another for health professionals.
