A clear and engaging look at the cultural and legislative landscape. More than a report, this session offers a clear and engaging perspective on where we are, where we’re headed and why culutre plays a decisive role in any lasting change.

Restoring the Voice & Role of Men
For too long, the broader conversation around abortion has often excluded men—minimizing their role, their influence, and the impact these experiences can have on them as well. This panel brings that conversation back into focus. Through honest dialogue and lived experience, these speakers will explore the role men play in relationships, decision-making, and the long-term effects that abortion can have on fathers. Together, they will speak to the reality that men matter—that their presence, responsibility, and support are essential in building strong families and healthy communities. As we look toward lasting cultural change, this conversation points to a powerful truth: when men are engaged, supported, and willing to lead with integrity and compassion, they become a vital part of shaping a culture of life and love.
