A Glimpse Into Her Story

Inviting Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) of Roe v. Wade to her college to speak was a turning point moment in her life. To hear from the very woman whose unplanned pregnancy was used to legalize abortion speak of the horrific nature of abortion and her conversion to being pro-life moved Alison to tears. She would never want a woman to feel so abandoned and used by the pro-abortion industry.

Alison remembers going home from that semester and learning that her own father, himself an orphan, had been a part of an unplanned pregnancy from before he was saved. He told her “Ali they told us it was a clump of cells. That’s exactly what they said.” His confession to her and before God, led Alison down a path to help end the violence against children and the pain abortion causes men and women. She soon found herself in Washington, D.C. working to draw attention to the greatest human rights abuse of her day.

Serving in the pro-life movement, Alison has seen how education and encouragement can get others on the path to prolife activism and lives saved. She has used her voice at local youth groups to national stages to remind people that each life has a unique purpose. Having grown up in a Northern predominantly secular public school arena before working in D.C. for a decade, Alison is able to reach a broad demographic, speaking to everyone from inner-city youth to elected government officials.

As a speaker, Alison gets how important it is to have a speaker that can cast a vision and call the audience to action.
