STARS OF THE PROUDLY PRO-LIFE DINNER

For the first time in the history of Alaska Right to Life, an incumbent governor attended an Alaska Right to Life "Proudly Pro-Life Dinner." Governor Sarah Palin gave very strong, very heartmoving, witness to Pro-Life. She was followed by Lt. Governor Sean Parnell who gave equally strong Pro-Life testimony, with an emphasis on the role of men in Pro-Life and male resposibility. In the audience was another Pro-Life champion, former Lt. Governor Loren Leman. I was joined at the dinner with my wife Marlene, son John and daughter-in-law Ann Lynn.

Next came a talk by the Rev. Dr. Alveda King, neice of the famed Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. She related her journey to Pro-Life activism, and connected it her experiences with her uncle Martin Luther King. Attorneys Bob Finch and Kevin Carlson gave background on the recent Alaska Supreme Court decision overturning Parental Right of Notification for a minor child's abortion. I'm a former President, and Board Member, of Alaska Right to Life. About 300 attended the dinner, held at the Anchorage Captain Cook Hotel.
