The Problem

Life is being lost through unjust laws and inhumane practices.

Our Pro-Life Advocacy

Our Impact

A society that values and fosters life is possible.
We’re working toward it.

Exposing Abortionists and Abolishing the Industry

Today, there are three times as many pro-life pregnancy resource centers in America as there are abortion businesses. We’re continuing to expose abortionists for the deadly, dirty, and dangerous nature of their businesses and, ultimately, to abolish the industry.

Expose Abortionists

Protecting Mothers, Fathers, and their Children

We advocate holistically for American mothers, fathers, and their children. We equip advocates and lawmakers with the facts and strategies that change hearts and minds and protect human life. “Defending Life,” America’s pro-life playbook, provides inspiration for advocates in every state.

Defending Life in the States

Advancing Alternatives to Anti-Life Violence and Harm

We advance alternatives to anti-life violence and harm across the spectrum of human right to life issues. We understand that all the bioethical issues are connected and that for the human family to thrive, we must protect life at every age, stage, and circumstance.
