Abortion survivor, Gianna Jessen, subject of the movie, October Baby, will be the keynote
speaker at Pregnancy Help Clinic’s annual Celebration of Life on April 18,
2013.
“Ms. Jessen has an amazing story to tell that is important
for both prolife and prochoice people to hear. She brings truth to the
conversation, a truth that cannot be overlooked: abortion takes the life of a
real human being. Gianna Jessen is one of the few who have survived to tell
their story. Her life is the inspiration for the blockbuster movie, October Baby,” said Ann O’Reilly, director
of community development at Pregnancy Help Clinic in Brighton, Michigan.
This fundraising event will take place on Thursday, April
18, 2013, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Brighton Church of the Nazarene, 7669
Brighton Road, Brighton. Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased at the door
or in advance from Pregnancy Help Clinic by calling 810-494-5433 or by visiting
their website at www.PregnancyHelpClinic.com.
In addition to Ms. Jessen’s speech, audience members will be
treated to an appetizer and dessert buffet, music, and updates about Pregnancy
Help Clinic. According to Ms. O’Reilly, the Celebration of Life is not only
“the major fundraiser of the year, but also a time to celebrate victories,
thank volunteers, and educate the community about prolife issues.” Previous
speakers have included Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
and Norma McCorvey, “Roe” from Roe v. Wade, among others.
