Rebekah Hagan, one of today’s youngest speakers on teen pregnancy, abortion and abortion pill reversal, will be keynote speaker at the Greater Columbus Right to Life (GCRTL) annual banquet on Monday, June 12 beginning at 6:20 p.m. at Villa Milano, 1630 Schrock Road, Columbus.
Hagan’s career in pro-life ministry was unplanned and fueled by firsthand experience. Raised in a Christian home where abortion wasn’t discussed, she became pregnant at 17 with her son, Eli, and again in her first year of college.
Feeling ashamed, fearing she would lose her family and be forced to drop out of school, Hagan thought that raising two children alone would be impossible. At just over seven weeks’ pregnant, she began a medication abortion that changed her life.
“More than 80% of the reported abortions in central Ohio are committed by the abortion pill,” said Beth Vanderkooi, GCRTL executive director. “We not only want people to hear Rebekah’s amazing story, but we need to continue to share information about abortion pill reversal and rescue.”
Thousands of babies have been saved by abortion pill rescue, including many in central Ohio.
Tickets to the dinner are complimentary, thanks to the support of many sponsors that include individuals, companies such as Kurtz Bros, numerous Knights of Columbus Councils and Assemblies and others. Attendees can donate to support GCRTL after the dinner.
In addition to the program, Vanderkooi said, the event will include a celebration of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and information about upcoming ballot initiatives. Vanderkooi also expects several special guests will attend.
