William Wilberforce Relative to Speak at International Pro-Life Conference
Wilberforce was used in a mighty way during the 2nd Great Awakening to end slavery in England through political activism. We need more Wilberforces today who are willing to stand on biblical truth and speak it to the culture.
"He will speak on how his great-great grandfather, were he alive today, would be in the forefront of the pro-life movement fighting to end abortion as he fought to end slavery."

Jim Hughes, International Right to Life vice-president and president of Campaign Life Coalition Canada
said headline speaker Fr. Wilberforce "will speak on how his
great-great grandfather, were he alive today, would be in the forefront
of the pro-life movement fighting to end abortion as he fought to end
slavery."
Hughes says, "Wilberforce is one of a growing list of descendants of
very prominent anti-slavers such as the current descendent of Dred
Scott, upon whom was built the terrible Dred Scott case in the United
States which said that black humans were only three fourths human, and
also Dr. Alveda King, the niece of the late Martin Luther King Jr., who
is also in the forefront of the pro-life movement. It is growing trend."
