“Miracles do happen,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “One year ago, my team and I waited on the steps of the Supreme Court to witness history, an end to the tyranny of Roe v. Wade. Today, we call for 14^th Amendment Constitutional protections for all the preborn, as we protect life in law and in services across the country.”

Students for Life’s work leading to this moment has been highlighted in numerous articles analyzing this moment in time. Washington Post: A year after the fall of Roe v. Wade, a fragile new phase of abortion in America … “I think we’re farther than anyone would have expected we would be.”

Students for Life Action (SFLAction), a 501c4, along with its 501c3 sister organization, Students for Life of America (SFLA), make up the nation’s largest pro-life youth organization and a political and policy operation engaging people of all ages. Together they work to end abortion — the human rights issue of our day — and provide political, legal, and community support for women and their children, born and preborn. Headquartered in Fredericksburg, VA, SFLA has more than 1,400 groups on middle, high school, college, university, medical, and law school campuses in all 50 states. SFLA creates strategy, policy, and programming to connect those most targeted for abortion with people ready to help and builds a framework for political engagement on their behalf. SFLA and SFLAction have more conversations with those most targeted by the abortion industry than any other pro-life outreach in the world, reaching more than 2 million people across social media platforms each week and engaging in approximately 100,000 digital conversations per month. Over more than 16 years, President Kristan Hawkins has grown SFLAction/SFLA into an $18 million organization preparing for a Post-Roe America.
