Patricia Sandoval
Rev. Dr. Gregory P. Seltz
Rev. Dr. Gregory P. Seltz
Patricia Sandoval is a pro-life speaker and author with an amazing story of hope for this generation. Her testimony is as powerful and raw as it gets, with her personal history of abortion and then being hired by Planned Parenthood. Her terror at what happens behind the scenes led her to drugs and homelessness. But her story does not end there, and is filled with hope!
Now, a speaker across the globe, an author, and an EWTN show host, National Right to Life is proud to have her speak at our 2021 Convention.
