Syndicated columnist Star Parker appeared at the Students for Life of America (SFLA) conference in Bethesda, Md., Saturday and delivered a rousing speech on “Standing in the Face of Adversity.” Parker admits in her autobiography that she had several abortions before finding God and becoming a powerful pro-life advocate. She’s come a long way, baby!
The speech was lauded as “amazing” and “an inspiration.”
@StarParker is probably the best speaker I've ever heard. #SFLA2013
