I never imagined that trying to start a student club would lead to intimidation and even threats to my fundamental American rights. My name is Marcos Meléndez Carrasquillo, and I’m a senior at University Gardens High School. I set out to create a space where students who value the dignity of every human Life could gather and exchange ideas: a Students for Life group. Instead, I encountered serious concerns about how

I launched a new Students for Life of America (SFLA) group at my school, Joliet Junior College, in the leafed Chicago suburbs with excitement. It is important to speak up for the preborn as a member of my generation—a generation flooded with propaganda by the abortion lobby and social media.  I was excited to gather and organize with emerging young voices in the Life movement. But problems surfaced before we even

Students for Life Once Again Calls for Charlie Kirk’s Birthday to Become a National Holiday, Saluting & Celebrating Free Speech “Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to defending free speech and inspiring a generation to speak boldly,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “We, the Pro-Life Generation, call on Congress to make today, October 14th, Charlie’s birthday, a National Holiday.  This is

As the U.S. Supreme Court kicks off its October term, Students for Life of America (SFLA) is actively engaged in shaping the legal landscape when it comes to protecting children inside and outside of the womb.    In 2025, SFLA signed onto several amicus briefs in pending cases that reflect our mission to protect Life from abortion or transgender mutilation, defend parental rights, shield children

Facts don’t care about your feelings, and many abortion supporters, unfortunately, don’t care about facts — or being respectful of others. In an increasing number of cases, the facts actually make the abortion lobby flip out and act aggressively. That’s what we saw at Harvard University when an abortion supporter actually chose flipping our table over to finding common ground in discussion.   READ: Students for Life’s “All Human Life is Valuable” Tour Meets HOSTILITY at Harvard As part of Students for Life of America’s (SFLA) Fall 2025 All

“The Left keeps reaching into the same bag of tricks,” said Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America. “When they can’t win the argument, they resort to intimidation and violence. But the Pro-Life Generation won’t back down. We will continue to stand boldly for truth, engage in respectful dialogue, and change hearts and minds, not just in solidarity with our friend Charlie Kirk,

You know what they say: if something wild is going to happen, it’ll probably happen at Walmart.  Add a few passionate pro-lifers to the mix, and you’ve got the recipe for a mostly peaceful showdown (peaceful on our end, of course). This week, Students for Life of America (SFLA) turned up the volume with our nationwide “Stop Pharmacy Abortions” protests—an urgent response to the deregulations of the abortion marketplace by the former Biden

In a remarkable display of public mourning, approximately 95,000 people, including Students for Life’s own Kristan Hawkins, converged at the State Farm Stadium and its overflow arena outside Phoenix, Arizona, on September 21st, 2025, to honor the life of Charlie Kirk. The conservative activist, millennial leader, and evangelist—whose tragic assassination shook the nation earlier this month—was remembered at a memorial

Students for Life Praises Congressional Tribute to Charlie Kirk’sBirthday as ‘Unifying & Quintessentially American’; But more needed  Kristan Hawkins Calls for a Federal Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day “We applaud Congress for this bipartisan display of unity to honor our friend, Charlie Kirk,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “Charlie stood for universal truths that make this country great—the freedom to debate,

“We won’t back down,” said SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins. “When people stop using their free speech rights, perhaps because of fear and intimidation, those rights cease to exist. The Pro-Life Generation will pick up Charlie’s torch and continue his legacy of defending mothers and their children – born and preborn. Look for us on campus.” FOR INTERVIEWS, EMAIL: [email protected] WASHINGTON D.C. (09-17-2025)
