SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, January 21, 2023, in Washington, D.C. 

We are the first Post-Roe Generation, & We are UNSTOPPABLE 

“Roe v. Wade is gone, and the Pro-Life Generation is only just getting started,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “Students for Life of America was founded as a Post-Roe organization, and this is our time to implement the plan we’ve been building towards for 16 years, protecting life in both law and in service in all 50 fifty states.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (09-06-2022) — In January, Pro-life Americans will be back in the nation’s capital for the national pro-life march timed to what would have been Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton’s 50th anniversary – now a cautionary legal tale of judicial overreach. Following the march, national leaders and well-known speakers in the pro-life movement will again hold a strategy and training conference – the National Pro-Life Summit titled Unstoppable — to prepare for the next steps in this Post-Roe America. The world’s largest Pro-Life Generation training conference will be held the day before the 50th anniversary of the fallen Roe v. Wade decision: Saturday, January 21, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST at the Omni Shoreham Hotel at 2500 Calvert Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20008. Students for Life of America (SFLS) & Students for Life Action will be joined by key organizational partners like the Alliance Defending Freedom and Patriot Mobile in welcoming an all-star lineup of pro-life experts and activists.   

Speakers will include SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillion, Allie Beth Stuckey of Blaze Media, and many more. Last year, Former Vice President Mike Pence served as the Summit’s keynote speaker — stay tuned for our announcement of the 2023 key speaker.  

As Hawkins noted in her recent op-ed at Fox News, RIP Roe: Supreme Court abortion ruling sets stage for what pro-life groups do next, she observed, “Given the dangers and health risks of abortion to women and certainly to the preborn, states have a right to act to preserve and protect the preborn and their mothers. And many pro-life groups are lining up to help. For the engaged millennial and Gen Z activists that I lead in a 50-state operation, it means bringing the abortion debate to a state capital near you.”  

SFLA has trained more than 150,000 students nationwide, preparing single-issue voters to get to work. Click HERE to watch a recap video of the 2022 Summit.     

Polls already show that Millennials and Gen Z — now one-third of the electorate — do not support the radical abortion extremism of the Left. Instead, 75% of these young voters want limits on abortion with more than 40% favoring no abortion at all or abortion limited to exceptions of rape, incest, and life of the mother.  

Students for Life of America’s effectiveness in motivating, training, and mobilizing Millennials and Gen Z has been noted by many in the media, including award-winning documentarian Cynthia Lowen who recently released the documentary Battleground which featured SFLA and the Pro-Life Summit. While Lowen does not support the pro-life goals of SFLA, she applauds SFLA’s strategic and effective approach. She said SFLA’s mission is to “create the next generation of the anti-abortion movement’s foot soldiers.”
