Dear John,

It’s been called the “dreaded complication:” The birth of a live infant following a failed abortion attempt.

You might not have heard about it because the abortion industry doesn’t like to admit that babies do survive abortions. But some do.

And our 2025 Together We Advocate keynote speaker Melissa Ohden is one of them.

The survivor of a saline abortion and now the founder and director of the global Survivors Network, Melissa is a compelling pro-life speaker and author who has testified numerous times before Congress. 

Click below to watch Melissa tell her heartbreaking and inspiring story:

“If abortion is about women’s rights, then where were mine?” Melissa has asked. “Where were the rights of my two daughters? Because my daughters would have never lived if that abortion would have ended my life.”

On Saturday, March 1st, Melissa will share her story with us at the largest pro-life conference in the Pacific Northwest, Together We Advocate.

Hundreds of pro-life advocates will gather at the conference at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin, where they will…

• hear powerful speakers, including Melissa, former abortion provider Kathi Aultman, and Secular Pro-Life Executive Director Monica Snyder
• engage in hands-on workshops to learn pro-life apologetics skills
• take part in our brand-new networking opportunity to build lasting connections with like-minded people (stay tuned for more details!)

Early bird registration is open now, so don’t wait – these discounted rates are only available for a limited time!

I am so excited to see you there! 

Let’s show that the pro-life movement is thriving in Oregon by making this the biggest Together We Advocate conference yet.

Because everyone deserves an advocate,
