Would it really be National Pro-Life Chalk Day if the abortion lobby didn’t get their knickers in a knot over some sidewalk art? It’s unlikely — because semester after semester, we see it happen. Fall 2025 National Pro-Life Chalk Day was no exception.

As Students for Life of America (SFLA) groups recently participated in this nationwide event, campuses and communities across the country were filled with compelling pro-life messages and artwork. This semester, our student activists focused their chalk art on promoting the dignity of preborn children, real support for women, and the need to defund and debar Planned Parenthood. However, numerous abortion activists took issue with our work on the sidewalk, yet again trying to stomp out pro-life voices.

Vandalism of the pro-life message unfortunately remains a common experience for the Pro-Life Generation. Here is just a snippet of the vandalism that SFLA groups faced during this Fall 2025 Chalk Day:

University of Pittsburgh

At the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, the SFLA group on campus had written (among other messages) a statistic about how often preborn children are unfortunately killed by abortion worldwide. This message was meant to convey the serious nature of this human rights injustice, but it was erased by an abortion supporter — and replaced with ketchup of all things.

Someone decided to use this condiment to write, “Girl, whatever. Every 19 seconds someone is either raped or is atmted.”

One wrong doesn’t make another right. The Pro-Life Generation believes in protecting and supporting all life… so this wasn’t the slam-dunk the abortion lobby wanted it to be. Also, it’s pretty creepy to use ketchup in context with abortion — it seems to acknowledge that innocent blood in fact is being spilled.

Louisiana State University of Alexandria

The SFLA group at Louisiana State University of Alexandria shared thoughtful messages about loving life and the need for life-affirming reform of our federal budget. In contrast, the abortion lobby added their own random notes.

1. “Abortion is healthcare & healthcare is a human right!” 
2. “There are 6,000+ frog breeds” 
3. “What if? PIGEONS”

Montana State University

Abortion supporters at Montana State University went with the classic wash-it-away method of infringing on pro-life First Amendment rights. Being silenced, however, is different than being proved wrong.

University of Toledo

Prior to pro-abortion students wasting their water, the University of Toledo SFLA group had written “Debar Planned Parenthood” and “Pregnant? Go to StandingWithYou.org” on the sidewalk. After these messages were intentionally erased, the group was amused to find another in its place. It read, “Planned Parenthood goes here” — and had an arrow pointing straight at a trashcan! We can’t argue with that.

Yale University

The Bulldogs of Yale University also apparently include some pro-abortion bullies. Our SFLA group on campus found their chalk art washed away soon after it went up.

It’s really astonishing how something as basic as chalk art can provoke such strong, even aggressive reactions… and a little bit mysterious. Why do universities in particular have a problem of being hostile to a life-affirming ethic? Why are heartwarming pictures of mothers and babies such fodder for pro-abortion hate? What is it about fetal development and current data (science!) that drives the abortion lobby so crazy?

The only logical answer is that tolerating legal abortion for the last nearly 50 years has been cancerous for our society. When you don’t respect one right (the right to life), it’s much easier to deny someone another (the right to free speech). In fact, as we unfortunately saw through the recent martyrdom of Pro-Life Champion Charlie Kirk, sometimes violence even up to the point of murder is used to silence us.

Despite attempts to silence the pro-life message, however, the Pro-Life Generation continues to rise, promoting compassion, truth, and support for mothers and families on campuses and in communities nationwide.

We won’t be erased. We won’t be silenced. We are the Pro-Life Generation.
