Signs of pro-life hope

By Jared Olar

The right-to-life movement can look to the future with confidence and hope thanks to the growth of religious faith and pro-life conviction among the younger generation.

Two hundred and fifty-one people gathered last Sunday night to hear that encouraging message from Colleen Carroll Campbell, keynote speaker at the 27th annual Respect Life Dinner at the Radisson in Peoria.

Campbell is an author, columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, host for the Eternal Word Television Network’s “Faith and Culture” program, and a former White House speechwriter.
