“Attacks against children — preborn and born — take place in our schools and universities more than anywhere else, which is why Students for Life begins our activism and training with the generation targeted to remain childless,” said Students for Life’s Reagan Barklage. “For the second year, Students for Life distributed shirts to students across the country, declaring ‘LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION’ and ‘SEX IS BINARY & UNCHANGEABLE,’ countering the pro-abortion, pro-gender-insanity that affects today’s students long after graduation. People are not human Legos with replaceable parts.”

FREDERICKSBURG, V.A. (08-14-2026) – Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins announced a second round of our Wear the Truth Week events, running from Monday, September 14 to Friday, September 18, where students will wear free shirts provided by SFLA, bearing the text “LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION” and “SEX IS BINARY & UNCHANGEABLE.” So far, SFLA has received over 110 signups, representing students at over 90 schools in 34 states. “Funny how the same people who can’t say what a ‘woman is’ know for certain that a baby in a mother’s womb is not a person,” said Barklage. “We are welcoming students who care about the truth and are willing to state the obvious. By every biological reality, a unique human being begins at conception, and all are created male or female.”

SFLA has boldly stood up to the abortion and gender indoctrination happening in our schools, in sports, and in governments and medical establishments across the country.

“The WNBA has repeatedly failed to define womanhood while attacking those who try,” observed Barklage, “and the Department of Health and Human Services’ recent ‘Wolves in White Coats‘ report exposed how gender mutilation vendors pushed procedures on children. Planned Parenthood has been exposed for targeting pro-life pregnancy centers. We must be proactive in our opposition to this evil, and the first step must be speaking out. These shirts do that at the grassroots level.”

In addition to the shirts, students received complimentary tabling supplies, such as a trifold, sticker sheet, and topic cards to help foster discussion. Students are encouraged to wear their shirt one day during “Wear the Truth Week” and share photos on social media.

Students also received a free “Wear the Truth Week” Student Guide to help them handle backlash on campus, strengthen their defense of pro-life and pro-biology truths, navigate the policies and regulations at their schools, and seek support from SFLA as needed to make sure they are prepared to defend truth and their rights on campus.

SFLA hosted its first Wear the Truth Week in June 2026. Concerned about student reports of hostile environments that stifle free speech, around 230 students ordered shirts and stood for life, unfazed by intimidation and hostility on campus.
