Every year, National Right to Life's annual educational extravaganza gets better and better. For those who might not know, it's time to get you and yours registered for NRLC 2010, which takes place at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh. Jump in now to be sure you get the best rates!

Go to http://stoptheabortionagenda.com/convention and you find a couple of wonderful new features. There is a video that includes representative sound bites from past conventions.

Maddy Curtis and her brother Jonny.

How good it is to hear the voice of President Ronald Reagan. I remember like it was yesterday when he told the convention, "No one in America is more sensitive to this enormous tragedy and no one in America has done more to put a stop to it than those attending this National Right to Life Convention."

And then there are excerpts from the speeches of Henry Hyde and Mother Teresa and President George W. Bush, and the Rev. Richard John Neuhaus. Very encouraging!

In addition the convention is now on Twitter. That means you will be updated as more information about new speakers is added.

Those hundreds of thousands of you who read National Right to Life News already know that we have a great list of speakers. To name just a few, Steven Mosher, Mark & LaRee Pickup, and Msgr. Jim Lisante.

Msgr. Jim Lisante

I learned today that there will be a general session tentatively titled, "The Pain of the Unborn." The Thursday night general session will honor the 25th anniversary of Teens for Life. Its founder, Jack St. Martin, will be in attendance as will Dr. Angela Franks, former President of Teens for Life. To give you some idea what a great training grounds this has been, Dr. Franks will be the main speaker at that session discussing Planned Parenthood and its eugenic legacy.

You read yesterday that American Idol contestant Maddy Curtis will be speaking to the Teens about her pro-life convictions. She will share what a privilege it's been to be one of twelve children and to have four brothers with Down syndrome.

When you come to the Prayer breakfast on Friday and the closing Banquet Saturday night, you'll hear Jaime Thietten. As readers of NRL News and TN&V know Jaime sings an incredibly beautiful pro-life song entitled "My Chance." (http://www.jtmusic.net/home).

I had a chance to interview Jaime (http://www.nrlc.org/news/2009/NRL05/ProLifeSong.html), and I would strongly encourage you listen to the song and read the story about Jaime's pro-life ministry.

There are 78 great reasons to come to NRLC 2010: 72 workshops, four general sessions, a prayer breakfast, and a closing banquet. Go to http://stoptheabortionagenda.com/convention and get started!
