Georgia Right to Life announces new national organization, endorsements | Gwinnett Daily Post

Georgia Right to Life is creating a new national affiliate, three months after losing its connection to National Right to Life.

The Gwinnett-based group’s president Daniel Becker announced the formation of the National Personhood Alliance, “a confederation of faith-based, pro-life organizations and leaders who believe pursuing Personhood is essential to protecting all innocent human beings in the 21st century.”

“The focus of NPA will differ from most national pro-life groups,” Becker said. “The general consensus of many in the movement is that it’s time for a fresh strategy for ending the disregard for innocent human life. We intend to be ‘standard-bearers’ as opposed to ‘king-makers.’ This will require the application, politically and legislatively, of a higher standard than is currently embraced by most national pro-life groups today.”

Becker said, “There has been an overwhelming call from many within the movement to form a new national pro-life group which will represent us on Capitol Hill.”

A press release said the organization will become official at an October convention in Atlanta, with representatives from existing pro-life organizations and leaders from across the country invited to attend.

“The pro-life movement is more than 40 years old,” Becker said. “From its inception in the late 1960s, the focus has primarily been on ending abortion. Our concern must be expanded to encompass the dignity and value of each human being at any developmental stage through natural death.
