Despite the polarizing nature of the abortion debate in the past, it is the sincere hope of the Veritas Forum planning committee that everyone will benefit from the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions expressed at these events. The most important message the Veritas Forum wishes to convey is the full forgiveness of sins through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus for those who have had abortions and for those who have acted out of hatred toward those who are pro-abortion.
Love requires freedom of choice.
Choices are best made in an atmosphere wher both hearts and minds are open to the will of our Creator and Redeemer. It is our hope that God's will may be revealed in these dialogs.
