Jim Hughes, International Right to Life vice-president and president of Campaign Life Coalition Canada said headline speaker Fr. Wilberforce "will speak on how his great-great grandfather, were he alive today, would be in the forefront of the pro-life movement fighting to end abortion as he fought to end slavery."

Hughes says, "Wilberforce is one of a growing list of descendants of very prominent anti-slavers such as the current descendent of Dred Scott, upon whom was built the terrible Dred Scott case in the United States which said that black humans were only three fourths human, and also Dr. Alveda King, the niece of the late Martin Luther King Jr., who is also in the forefront of the pro-life movement. It is growing trend."
