Students for Life of America Calls on the FDA to Consider the Environmental Impact of Fetal Remains in America’s Water

Students for Life of America Calls on the FDA to Protect Women from a Predatory Chemical Abortion Sales Team, Raises concerns about Environmental Impact of Human Remains in America’s Water “Given the deadly consequences of the drugs for women and certainly the preborn, no public policy interest is served in recklessly handing out pills that can cause death,” said SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins. “And with 40 percent of abortions now painfully ending on toilets across America, Students for Life has grave concerns about the impact of human remains in America’s waterways.” WASHINGTON D.C.

Students for Life Condemns Vandalism at Cal Poly–San Luis Obispo Ahead of Speaking Tour Stop

“Colleges should be places open to learning and dialogue. We strongly condemn all vandalism against pro-life views,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America.

San Luis Obispo, CA (2-27-2020)–Reacting to the news that hundreds of fliers advertising her speech were torn down ahead of a speaking tour stop at Cal Poly, Kristan Hawkins stated, “Vandalism is a serious problem on college campuses with pro-life viewpoints regularly being targeted for supression by vandals. All of my speaking tour stops are free and open to the public, and I always take questions as part of the presentation. Instead of committing acts of violence against Students for Life, these vandals should come to my speech, ask questions, and engage with me.”

Hawkins is speaking at Cal-Poly tonight as part of her national speaking tour, “Make Abortion Illegal Again: Helping Women and Families After Roe.” You can read more about her speaking tour here.

Over 300 fliers have been hung in residence halls, the student union, and academic buildings since January 22nd. According to Cal-Poly Students for Life, more than half have been torn down.

Kelsea Forward, the vice-president of Cal-Poly Students for Life remarked, “If people disagree with us, they should come to the event and ask a question during the Q&A session. If they’re only trying to silence us, it proves they don’t have a good argument.”

The vandalism has been reported to the Bias Incident Response team on campus.
