This year's Maryland Right to Life Banquet will take place on Thursday, October 15th from 6-9pm in Annapolis. The guest speaker will be Sarah Zagorski Jones. Against all odds, Sarah miraculously survived an induction abortion and was born alive at 26 weeks. The abortionist advised leaving her for dead. At 16 months old, she was placed in the foster care system. Foster care is where she experienced pro-life
convictions in practice through a loving family committed to her care. Sarah’s adoptive parents remain an active part of her life. Her story has been featured on Fox News, CNN, NPR, and in the Associated Press, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, National Review, and more. Today, Sarah serves as the Senior Director of Communications for Americans United for Life. Click here for a flyer with ticket information.
