Here is the dilemma: Many public institutions, mainly schools, in this country turn to PP for advice etc. about STD's, Sex Ed. etc. Why? Because PP labels itself as a secular non denominational non religious org. In response to PP coming into the college where I teach I have tried to find a non religious org which offers alternative points of view (pro life, pro absinence etc.) that could also be invited. I could not find one. Most public institutions will not invite any religious group for fear of backlash.

What Pro life needs at this point is a secular alternative to PP. Response anyone?

Mission Statement
of the National Right to Life

In June of 1973, a group of pro-life leaders met in Detroit for the first meeting of a new organization, to be non-sectarian, non- partisan, and to have its board consist of an elected representative from each of the 50 states.

Eleni121, I see you are from NY. I don't know what's available up there, but here in Philadelphia, we have a group called Generation Life (founded by a former rescuer, by the way). They are a group of Catholic young people who go into schools discussing the dangers of pre marital sex. They give a wonderful pro life talk in line with Catholic church teaching. They do, however, speak at many public schools, where, naturally, they must give a secular speech. The thrust of their message is chastity, but they stress that being chaste is but one aspect being pro life.

Don't believe that PP is not sectarian, they adopt a self-centered demonic, pagan, humanist philosophy. Read about the secular humanist movement in America and the John Dewey, Secular Humanist/Columbia University methods and philosophies of teaching in our schools.

You will find that most faculty and staff will have no part in a pro-life organization working and teaching in an educational institution.

Most, if not EVERY state RTL chapters and their county affiliates are non-sectarian. In NJ, the NJEA teachers' union kicked out sexual abstinence speakers from their convention workshops! They also recently promoted the Pro-abortion march in DC on April 25th! Seems abortion and teachers go hand in hand.

There is plenty of pro-life info. out there. You can also reach the http://www.bcpinstitute.org/ and have them come in to set the record straight about abortion and breast cancer, there is a link.
