Pro-Life Convention

Calling all pro-life high school students!

Sunday, October 22 is the annual Respect Life Convention at the Adam’s Mark Hotel, downtown St. Louis. This year, the Respect Life Apostolate is proud to partner with the Office of Youth Ministry to present a special track for teens. The theme for the youth track is “The Island: You have been chosen,” inspired by the futuristic movie, “The Island,” which was released in 2005. The movie is about science-gone-wrong, and it raises some important ethical questions that hit close to home for scientists in Missouri today. While Amendment 2 would not allow scientists in Missouri to bring a human clone to a live birth, which is what happens in the movie, the amendment advocates the creation of human life for the sole purpose of destroying it, simply to extend the life of another.

Other highlights for the Convention include a special appearance by the God Squad: Msgr. Thomas Hartman and Rabbi Marc Gellman and a talk on the Biochemistry of Sex 101 by founder of Project Rachel, Vicki Thorn. Join other pro-life teenagers from St. Louis to hear the latest on the pro-life scene and find out how to get more involved.
