This month, hundreds of women will attend a pro-life conference aimed at empowering women through a uniquely pro-life approach.
"At this event by women and for women, we are coming together to proclaim that women's empowerment cannot be attained by the oppression of other human beings," read a statement on the Pro-Life Women's Conference website.
"We are reclaiming the narrative of women's empowerment; we are reclaiming our voice as the grassroots of the pro-life movement," the statement continued, inviting women to join the conference for "three days of powerful presentations, fellowship, friendship, and fun."
The conference, with the theme "Pro-life is Pro-love," will take place in St. Louis, Missouri from June 22-24 at the St. Charles Convention Center. The event will include keynote speakers, breakout sessions and panel discussions.
Speakers will include Serrin M. Foster, president of the Women Deserve Better campaign; Pat Layton, author, speaker and life coach; and Abby Johnson, founder of the abortion healing ministry And Then There Were None.
The topics of discussion include pregnancy loss, self-care, post-abortion healing, and fertility, and will aim to highlight the dignity of women through a pro-life lens.
In addition to Mass, meals and social opportunities, the conference is also hosting an art contest, which will explore the inherent worth of human beings, placing a particular focus on the dignity, beauty and strength of women.
This year's event will be the third pro-life women's conference. A 2017 event took place in Orlando, Florida, and a 2016 event was held in Dallas, Texas, drawing over 500 women. Registration for the 2018 pro-life conference is currently open.
