WARSAW, Ind.—The world knows Steven Tyler as the hard-living lead

singer of Aerosmith and a judge on American Idol, but to Julia
Holcomb, Steven Tyler was the man who in 1975 coerced her into
aborting their son and decades later lamented the decision in his 2012
autobiography.

Over 80 tables have already been sold at www.ProLifeBanquet.com to

hear Julia Holcomb share her story of forgiveness and recovery from
abortion at the 20th Annual Legacy for Life Banquet, sponsored by
Right to Life of North Central Indiana.

“While Steven and I went our separate ways long ago,” says Mrs.
Figure 1 Julia Holcomb will keynote
the 20th Annual Legacy of Life Holcomb, now married and the mother of seven grown children, “Our
Banquet on September 19, 2016 inson would have been 41 years old this year and Steven and I both
Winona Lake, Indiana
deeply regret this period in our lives. Today, however, I enjoy sharing
my story of forgiveness and recovery that I found in Jesus Christ.
Young people can choose better than Steven and I did by making life-affirming choices.”
