The New Wave Movement of the 21st Century
Free Pro-Life symposium on the afternoon of the banquet.
October 24th, 2018, 2pm - 4:30pm
You are part of a movement the likes of which America hasn’t seen since the slaves were freed. We call it the New Wave Movement of the 21st Century. It is defined by a relentless, heroic pursuit of human liberty.
Think about it: the Emancipation Proclamation that at last extended God-given rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness to slaves was the defining moment of human liberty in the 19th century.
In the 20th century, the defining human liberty moment was the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1919 which gave women the right to vote.
And in the 21st century, a furious battle is being waged to extend human liberty to our pre-born brothers and sisters. The New Wave is pro life. Its members are young, energized, and optimistic in marked contrast to the pro abortion Old Wavers who are old, tired, and embittered.
The New Wave movement is animated by a confluence of scientific and theological thinking which appeals to the young and the young at heart.
Is there hope for the future? Heck yes … the New Wave can’t be stopped!

Former Planned Parenthood Director
No one in the pro-life world has been inside Planned Parenthood longer than Sue Thayer. Having been a Center Manager for nearly 18 years, Sue believed she was helping women. But that all changed when she was informed she would soon be trained to do webcam abortions at her small rural Iowa center. Stunned, her concerns fell on deaf ears. Sue began to see the abortion giant in a new light and ultimately shared her insider’s knowledge. Sue’s vast experience coupled with her changed heart and bold faith has led to a whistle-blower lawsuit, currently in litigation.
Sue led Storm Lake’s first ever 40 Days For Life campaign at the very clinic she supervised for so many years. Shortly after completing the prayer vigil, Planned Parenthood closed its doors forever.
Sue shares her miraculous conversion with honesty, transparency and humor. Having been a foster and adoptive parent for 30 years, she has an amazing love for children. As founder and Director of Cornerstone For Life Pregnancy Resource Center, Sue has truly come full circle.
