Kristan Hawkins for RealClearPolitics: “Free Speech Isn’t Free”
Mary Mobley | January 26, 2026

We’re able to do that because of the First Amendment, which protects our right to free speech. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that speech is “free.” Instead, thanks to the Left’s culture of violence, SFLA must spend hundreds of thousands per

Reagan Barklage | January 13, 2026

In reality, this powerhouse group consists of just three dedicated officers and about eight to 10 student members. Despite their size, they’ve made an outsized impact on campus this semester through education, service, and advocacy, all while keeping things fun and community-focused. Tabling and the All Human

Emily Berning | October 28, 2025
I was a sophomore in college when the Lord really put it on my heart to start learning about abortion and what it means to be pro-life. I grew up pro-life, but this was the first time I ever felt deeply convicted to take action. I remember going through the campus directory to see if there was already a pro-life group I could join. There was one listed, but

I set out to create a space where students who value the dignity of every human Life could gather and exchange ideas: a Students for Life group. Instead, I encountered serious concerns about how

Megan Roos | August 25, 2025
(Megan Roos is Students for Life of America’s Texas Regional Coordinator and helps groups get off their feet. Read Roos’ easy steps and inspiring advice for pro-life students.) This generation will abolish abortion. But that large-scale mission starts small—with everyday students who dare to speak for the preborn.
