“Many college students that call themselves ‘pro-choice’ were fed misinformation from the abortion lobby, and their acceptance of abortion has been based on lies,” said Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America. “Many have never challenged the myths that they were sold, and that is the express purpose of this tour — to debunk the underpinnings of pro-abortion thought. If you’re not sure what’s in the womb and who can get pregnant, you’re going to want to hear this speech.”   

WASHINGTON D.C. (03-17-2023) – Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins begins an 10-campus speaking tour next week, though more dates may be added. A dynamic presenter, Hawkins will engage students on the top ten lies that abortion supporters believe, and Isabel Brown, a pro-life podcaster, author, and speaker, will be joining Hawkins as a special guest on several of the stops. 

The top ten lies that Hawkins will be tackling in this tour include 1) Chemical Abortion Pills are Safe, 2) Women Need Abortion to Succeed, 3) Babies are Just “Clumps of Cells,” 4) Planned Parenthood Cares about Women, 5) Hormonal Birth Control Prevents Abortion, 6) Men Can Have Babies, 7) Miscarriages and Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment is Abortion, 8) Pro-lifers Don’t Care about Women, 9) All Pro-lifers are Religious, and 10) the Pro-Abortion Slogan ‘My Body, My Choice.’

Hawkins on campus with students

In exercising our free speech rights on behalf of the preborn and their mothers, Students for Life of America team members often face opposition and even violence.  

To learn more about the hostile environment on campus towards pro-lifers, read SFLA Regional Coordinator Stephanie Luiz’s National Review op-ed entitled “The Harassment of Pro-Life College Students Is Getting Worse.” 

Hawkins also wrote about this recently for CNN News, noting

“We’re battling 50-year-old talking points and assumptions to reopen conversations. We’re not running away from that. We plan to have one million conversations this year alone – many of which have already started and are focused on engaging younger voters whose voices need to be heard – because you can’t build new law and new services without new consensus. And we need new consensus that rejects Roe’s outdated and prejudiced legacy.

“We’re not afraid to speak up – though we have good reason to fear. Our team faces threats but is resolved nonetheless to present a message of hope for the future…We still have a tough climb, but nothing will stop our resolve to protect the humanity of people born and preborn.”
