“After fertilization has taken place a
new human being has come into being.
It is no longer a matter of taste or
opinion...it is plain experimental
evidence. Each individual has a very
neat beginning, at conception.”

Why Lisbon?
Portugal is in the midst of a petitioning process that would
guarantee the inviolability of human life from the moment of
conception until natural death. The Pro Referendo Vida campaign
has collected nearly half of the signatures they need to convene a
national referendum to protect life. The Global Pro-Life Unity
Summit will call attention to their movement and show the
international support for the Portuguese referendum.
In fact, Portugal is part of a larger counter-cultural movement
across the European continent that is promoting the dignity of
human life. Holding the Global Pro-Life Unity Summit in Lisbon will
allow leaders of similar movements in neighboring countries to
easily attend and access international support.
