Is Students for Life Next on the Social Media Ban List?
Brenna Lewis | January 19, 2021
The big tech companies (including social media platforms) hold an insane amount of power over the public discourse. They control what is allowed to be said in posts, tweets, videos, and more. As long as they agree with it, it’s allowed to stay. Unfortunately… they are staunchly not on our side. No one could’ve predicted how quickly America’s precious free

Brenna Lewis | January 18, 2021
It’s no secret that the tech giants of America have nearly unbridled power when it comes to controlling the social media narrative.

So it wasn’t a major shock when footage was leaked of Twitter CEO

Brenna Lewis | December 3, 2020
Pro-choice students at Miami University in Ohio have a serious tolerance problem. In recent years, Miami Students for Life has not been able to do a single event without facing over-the-top aggression from peers. That’s bad enough, but the fact that the school administration has taken no real action to defend the free speech of their students is even worse. At

Discrimination Towards a Students for Life Group… At a Catholic University!
Brenna Lewis | November 6, 2020
The University of Dayton is a Catholic school in the Marian tradition (the Society of Mary) located in Dayton, Ohio. As such, one would think the campus Students for Life group would be safe from the same sorts of discrimination and harassment students face at public schools. Sadly… no. The first week of November, the group, Flyers for Life,

Minnesota Students (Again) Harassed for Pro-Life Message
Brenna Lewis | November 6, 2020
October means National Chalk Day—which actually takes place over several days—where students get to show off their creativity when it comes to communicating the pro-life message. With more reports of students participating, however, comes more incidents of vandalism, similar to other incidents we’ve recently seen. After being prevented from doing so earlier in the month due to snow, students at the Winona State University participated in

Vandals with Zero Creativity Mess with Chalk in Louisiana
Brenna Lewis | November 2, 2020
While student members of the Pro-Life Cajuns group at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette encourage voters with life-affirming chalk messages, they’re met with suppression and vandalism. Such is yet another attempt to silence pro-life students who want to use their voices to speak out in favor of the preborn, while also informing their peers about the issue. As the election quickly approaches, there are

Brenna Lewis | November 2, 2020
Coloradans this election have the opportunity to vote on something BIG – and it’s all thanks to an army of pro-life advocates in the Denver area who made it happen. Currently, it’s legal in Colorado to abort a child up until birth for any reason. This beautiful, mountain state is one of seven states in the U.S. with this
