It’s that time again when the Pro-Life Generation gets to awe and amaze us with their creativity for life through participation in National Pro-Life Chalk Day. Every semester, passionate pro-life students nationwide come together to chalk inspiring messages and artwork across their campuses and communities. These chalk displays give the pro-life message a unique platform, allowing us to reach audiences we may not have had the chance otherwise to engage with. Once again, our student activists didn’t disappoint!  

For Fall 2025 Chalk Day, the central message or theme was Defunding & Debarring Planned Parenthood. This is a current key goal of the pro-life movement which we must educate the public on, and dozens of Students for Life of America (SFLA) groups created and submitted an abundance of amazing art. This always makes selecting the top finalists a daunting task, but we’ve managed to narrow it down after careful consideration.  

Now, the spotlight is on YOU — who should win?  

To help make this decision, check out our outstanding finalists below, divided into four categories: Most Artistic, Best Use of Theme, Best Representation of Preborn Children, and Most Creative Message. There will be four winners in total (one for each category) that will each receive a $100 Amazon gift card as their prize. 

SFLA has chosen our top three finalists for each category, and it’s now time for you to vote on your favorite for each category.  

Voting will conclude at 2 P.M. ET on Wednesday, October 29th.  

Most Artistic: 

Alexandra Cleveland 

Cleveland, a pro-life artist from Burbank, California, drew a stunning depiction of a preborn child “being knit together in the womb” as they are intertwined with strands of DNA. The artwork beautifully illustrates the scientific fact that human life begins with a unique genetic code that unfolds and expresses itself over time.  

Sara Cabrera 

Using a well-known quote from “Horton Hears a Who,” Cabrera’s art work demonstrates the truth that “a person is a person, no matter how small” in a beautifully simple, whimsical fashion.  

Saint Michael’s Academy  

The Saint Michael’s Academy Students for Life group worked together to utilize bright colors and a huge stretch of the sidewalk to illustrate the wonderful bond between a mother and her child. 

Best Use of Theme: Defund & Debar Planned Parenthood 

Chesterton Academy of the Willamette Valley 

The SFLA group at Chesterton Academy highlighted this year’s theme by drawing a clear depiction of Planned Parenthood’s real goal: wealth and power, even at the expense of human lives.   

Classical Conversations  

Pro-life students with Classical Conversations dismantled many pro-abortion myths promoted by the Abortion Goliath in their artwork while also calling for Planned Parenthood’s complete defunding.  

Homeschool Pennsylvania 

Caroline Troll from the Homeschool Pennsylvania student group emphasized the theme by demonstrating that our goal to defund and debar Planned Parenthood goes hand-in-hand with loving both mother and child.  

Best Representation of Preborn Children: 

Southern California Homeschool Co-op – Temecula Students for Life 

The students of Temecula Students for Life represented the value of preborn children with a beautiful art drawing and a passage from the Psalms that says that God knew us all in our mother’s wombs.  

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign  

Victoria Titus, from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, highlighted a core truth through her chalk art: Human value is based on human nature, not on size, location, or any other arbitrary standard.  

Students for Life Allen High School  

The Students for Life of Allen High School group chose colorful imagery to highlight the uniqueness of every human life and the message that every unrepeatable human being brings color and vibrance to the world.  

Most Creative Message: 

Saint Thomas More Academy

With their “guide to women’s rights” chalk art, the Saint Thomas More Academy student group demonstrates that true feminism encourages women to have their children and pursue their dreams together.  

Romeo High School

Student leaders at Romeo High School chalked an encouraging message that reminds us all why we oppose abortion — because we have been given voices to speak for those who cannot.  

Winthrop Students for Life 

Winthrop Students for Life chose to highlight two powerful messages during Chalk Day: 1) that reproductive rights should never include abortion (as reproduction has already occurred,) and 2) that every human life holds value from the moment of fertilization. 

Thank you so much to ALL who participated in this fun event!
