What happens when you equip high school and college students with the tools to defend the dignity of every human life?

In this episode of The Pro-Life Perspective, Abigail Lorenzen sits down with Violet Hubartt, a junior at Hillsdale College and a seven-time veteran of the Life Defenders Summer Camp.

Violet shares how her years at camp transformed her from a student with a "hunch" about the truth into an advocate equipped with science, logic, and philosophy. This conversation explores the vital importance of pro-life apologetics and how training young people impacts the way they view the human person across all stages of life.

"I knew that we had truth on our side, and I knew that the arguments could be made, but I was very impressed and very convicted that these were arguments that I needed to put into use." — Violet Hubartt
