Pro-Life Advocates to NRB Convention: “We Are in This for the Long Game”
Veteran pro-life advocates gathered at the 2023 NRB International Christian Media Convention to take part in a panel discussion on “Living in the Dobbs Era: Life After Roe.”
Moderated by Eric Metaxas (New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host), the panel featured Abby Johnson (CEO & Founder of And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries), Jeanne F. Mancini (President at March for Life), Brad Mattes (President at Life Issues Institute), and Dr. Ingrid Skop, M.D. (pro-life OB/GYN and Director of Medical Affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute).

Panelists weighed in on what the fight to see life respected and protected under the law looks like in a post-Roe America.
