Former President Donald Trump again drew outrage from pro-life organizations this week after he said he would not ban the distribution of abortion pills by mail if elected, drawing outrage from pro-life organizations. In an interview with CBS News on Monday, Trump answered whether he would enforce the Comstock Act if he won the 2024 presidential election. As explained by reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns, the 1873 law could "prohibit the … distribution of medication abortion by mail." "No," Trump responded. "We will be discussing specifics of it but generally speaking, no." When asked again if he would enforce the Comstock Act,...

Earlier this semester, Kristan Hawkins' tour stop at VCU was abruptly interrupted by Antifa, to the point Kristan wasn’t even able to give her speech. Last night, we were able to return to VCU, and this time, the school did their job to make sure that our peaceful, pro-life event was able to proceed.

Pro-life students at Exeter University say they have received death threats over their views on abortion. Christian Concern, which is supporting Students for Life, has warned of an escalation in cancel culture after 7,000 people signed a petition demanding that the group be "abolished". The society exists to equip pro-life students with the tools they need to share their views "in a sensitive and respectful way". The petition against it has been sent along with an open letter to university authorities, but Christian Concern says it follows a "campaign of abuse" against the Students for Life Instagram page. Members of...

The pro-life movement is often criticized for supposedly imposing religious views on others. However, those in favor of abortion sometimes express devotion to a much darker aspect of spirituality. On Saturday, members of Students for Life, a pro-life group based in Virginia, had a sinister encounter with an abortion supporter. According to Kristan Hawkins, the group’s president, members of the Students for Life chapter at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington, were gathered to pray peacefully outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic when they were antagonized by pro-abortion advocates.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Students for Life of America (SFLA) has produced a video showing them crashing the pro-abortion “Women’s March” last week in Washington D.C., and at one point leading the march with pro-life signs while chanting pro-life slogans. The group arrived at the march with banners calling for “equal rights for all women -- born and reborn” and chanted “abortion hurts women.” Kate Maloney, SFLA northeast regional coordinator who attended the event and appears in the video, described the moment when the group crashed the Women’s March as “amazing.” “We really stirred things up …...

A Christian university in Tennessee is standing behind its student senate’s decision not to officially recognize a local chapter of the pro-life activist organization Students for Life of America. However, students are still hopeful they will be able to get recognition in the spring. The student senate at Bethel University in Tennessee, an institution affiliated with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church with over 4,500 undergraduates, rejected a bid by students to have their Students for Life chapter recognized as an on-campus club in early November. Students for Life exists to “abolish abortion” and “transform culture by helping young people make abortion...

November 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – It’s November 7 in South Dakota. The night is well below freezing. The Augustana University Republican and Life Runners clubs have teamed up and spent the evening chalking the sidewalks with messages defending the right to life. These messages included Bible verses, statistics, and blunt proclamations in the hopes of stirring up a discussion on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) campus. A discussion was what they got, but not before things began “slipping” toward madness and mayhem. The pro-life messages were meant to be seen, and they were. Unfortunately, pro-abortion students didn’t respond with principled...

We all know we should “turn the other cheek.” Few of us ever do. That’s why the reaction of one pro-life teenager to a woman who punched her in the face outside an abortion clinic is extraordinary. On Monday, Students for Life of America published a video of 15-year-old Purity Thomas recalling how a woman punched her as she stood holding a pro-life sign outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. While conservative media have thoroughly covered the Dec. 2 incident, the liberal media – who claim to champion women’s rights – have remained largely silent. In the new video, Purity, president...

(WNS)–A pro-life student group at Fresno State University won its fight this month against a professor who told a student she had no free speech rights on a college campus. Students for Life sued professor William Gregory Thatcher after he scrubbed out a pro-life message chalked on the sidewalk and told student leader Bernadette Tasy, “College campuses are not free speech areas.” Tasy, who heads Fresno State Students for Life, got permission from school administrators in May to chalk pro-life messages near the school library. Shortly after she finished her work, a group of students began rubbing out the messages,...

While Donald Trump has claimed his former pro-abortion views are a thing of the past, some pro-lifers question his convictions on abortion, or even his knowledge of the topic, following a series of ill-advised remarks from the current GOP presidential frontrunner. Students for Life is seeking to assist Trump in coming to a better understanding of the pro-life position by inviting him to a “remedial training” course called ‘Being Pro-Life 101.’ On Monday, the pro-life group tweeted a call for Trump to receive education on abortion issues. Donald Trump could use some pro-life training: https://t.co/VuYqalvdNU We’re here to help if...

This year, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers gathered for the March for Life held in Washington, D.C. every year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Here are [two of] 11 of the most inspiring signs at the March:

... Such behavior from pro-abortion advocates suggests their fear of the inevitability of this bill passing. The higher-ups in the abortion movement no longer bothered encouraging their supporters to act appropriately, though it is questionable as to if they ever did. Abby Johnson, who was present at the Capitol, has been making updates on her Facebook page and posted this the day before the bill passed: I just wanted to post something in preparation for tomorrow. I have had a couple of legitimately concerned abortion clinic workers (from Austin clinics) contact me to let me know what is being planned...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Students for Life of America has created a new partnership between pro-life student activists and leaders of the pro-life movement. The national organization hopes the partnership, the new Wilberforce Leadership Fellows program, will result in a new generation of adult leaders against abortion. "The vision of the Fellowship is to equip and further train student pro-life leaders to form national and state leaders that will help end abortion in our lifetime," the organization says.Last weekend, at the SFLA national headquarters, the pro-life group welcomed the 2010-2011 class and the students heard from David Bereit, the...

An anti-abortion group on LSU's campus is up in arms after an exhibit was vandalized. Last Saturday the group "Students For Life" held a vigil to recognize the historic abortion ruling Roe Versus Wade. Monday morning when they got to LSU's Parade Grounds some members found the exhibit trashed. LSU police now have a complaint against whoever vandalized 3,044 little white crosses planted at the parade grounds. Each cross symbolized what anti abortion activists say is the number of unborn children killed each day by legal abortions in the United States. Some time between Saturday and Monday morning those symbols...

Pro-lifers barred from parade 'Issues' deemed not appropriate for community event After seven years of participation, pro-life students were barred from a community parade in Michigan because "issues" were considered inappropriate for such an event. The group didn't fit the theme of "cherries, children and fun," insisted a committee of volunteers who reviewed applications for the National Cherry Festival's Junior Royale Parade in Traverse City, the local Record-Eagle said. That came as a surprise to Andrea Becker of Students for Life. "I was disgusted really," she said, according to the daily. "We purposefully try to not put the word 'abortion'...
