ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS:
Lisa has over 20 years of experience working as a psychiatric nurse and another 20 years working in pregnancy resource centers helping women and their families with unplanned pregnancies. Additionally, Lisa has extensive training in dealing with the trauma of abortion, as well as a personal experience with abortion and personal, spiritual healing. For nearly 20 years, Lisa facilitated Bible study/support groups addressing the specific grief and pain from a past abortion. In 2017, Lisa established Deeper Still of Northern Indiana, a not-for-profit which provides Biblically based healing retreats for men and women with abortion wounded hearts, offered free of charge to participants. DSNI is a chapter of Deeper Still (national) founded by Karen Ellison in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Lisa and her husband, Mike, publicly share their abortion experience, which occurred in 1983, to help others overcome their grief and shame, and to help Christians develop a helpful response to their abortion-wounded family and friends. Mike is the Men’s Ministry Coordinator for DSNI and has served in men’s ministry for many years. They co-facilitate Deeper Still Retreats in Indiana.
Lisa and Mike are the parents of two fine adult children and grandparents to two beautiful granddaughters. They attend Harvest Fellowship Church in Fort Wayne, IN.

We want to reach out to all of our awesome volunteers who helped at the LaPorte County and Porter County Fairs this summer. It is such an important part of our mission for Right2LifeNWI to man our booths at the fairs to provide the education so needed. Thank you for being a kind witness to life and being there to teach/explain life issues to those who approached our table. We would love to hear any stories of encounters you may have had so please feel free to email us with your story from this past week.
We will be looking to the board and discussing a “Volunteer Thank You Get Together”. We will be in touch as soon as possible with a date, time and place.

24 years after their abandonment, 2 baby boys, Ephariam and Jacob, will finally receive headstones, dedicated by He Knows Your Name ministry. This event will publicly honor 2 baby boys who were abandoned prior to, and soon after, the passing of the Safe Haven Law in 2000. This event was held Monday, July 1st at 2:00 PM at Washington Park East Cemetery (10612 E Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46229). The abandonment of these 2 boys changed the landscape of Indiana, and our country. The event collaborates with supporting agencies who have helped in stopping the abandonment of babies in our nation. Abandonment is criminal, but safely surrendering under the Safe Haven Law is a legal resource to moms in crisis, and saves babies lives. Read more here.
2024 begins with a major announcement . . .
Porter County RTL and LaPorte County RTL
have merged into one unified group and will be doing business as
RTL of Northwest Indiana, (RTLNWI)
This collaboration will join efforts and action in our dedication to the restoration and protection of the right to life. As one of Indiana’s influential pro-life groups, this merger will lead to improved synergies in support of our mission to protect life at every stage, from conception to natural death.
The City of La Porte is receiving Indiana’s 119th Safe Haven Baby Box. La Porte Fire Station #2 is inviting the community to attend the blessing of their Safe Haven Baby Box on April 11.
La Porte Fire Chief, Andy Snyder stated, “Installing a Safe Haven Baby Box has been a goal of our department for quite some time now, and we are so glad to finally have this incredible resource in our community. We are very grateful to the family of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski for their contribution to and support of this project in her memory. Thanks to them, we can now rest assured that mothers in need throughout our community have a place to turn to.”
“Paul’s Construction aided the mission by installing the Baby Box pro bono,” Safe Haven Baby Box said in a press release. “Indiana Department of Homeland Security majorly funded the project with assistance from Impact International Inc. and the Walorski Family.”
Mayor Tom Dermody shared, “Fire Chief Andy Snyder and his team have worked diligently to bring this very important resource to our community. This box has the potential to save and change many lives in our community over the next several years, and we are proud to join the growing movement across the country to provide a Safe Haven for mothers and babies in need.”
“When the door of the Baby Box opens a silent alarm sounds alerting first responders, along with when the infant is placed in the bassinet, and when the door shuts, automatically locking, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. “The infant will immediately be transported to the hospital for medical evaluation and the baby will be with their adoptive family soon.”
In addition to the Baby Boxes, the organization confidentiality aids women in crisis with their National Hotline, 1-866-99BABY1, which has assisted with over 140 surrenders. Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas have a Baby Box presence within their state.
