"Duck Dynasty" family members to speak on pro-life issues Monday at LCU

Al and Lisa Robertson of the "Duck Dynasty" family in West Monroe will be the featured speakers for the third Christ Church Culture event Monday at 6:30 p.m. in Guinn Auditorium on the Louisiana Christian University campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Their pro-life advocacy will be the focus of event.

“LCU is pleased to host Alan Robertson for a C3 Seminar focused on pro-life initiatives,” said President Dr. Rick Brewer in a press release. “His insight will underscore the commitment of the University to protecting the lives of the unborn consistent with our biblical foundation.”

The Robertsons wrote "A New Season: A Robertson Family Love Story of Brokenness and Redemption" in 2015 about the struggles they have faced and how — through faith, prayer and love — they have persevered, states the release.

Austin Cader, vice president of Wildcats for Life, was the one who invited the Robertson to share their story.

Abigail Shields, president of Wildcats for Life, said in the release that pro-life activism has decreased since the reversal of Roe v. Wade which shifted authority over abortion rights back to the states.

“From our perspective, the pro-life movement needs to increase their involvement,” the release quotes Al Roberstson. “More people in states like Louisiana will be looking for help and assistance because abortion is not an option. We need to be able to provide the alternatives they need now—where the pregnancy centers are, information about adoption and fostering. The Christian community at large needs to step up.”
