Mary Briganti | June 11, 2020
Going into the SFLA Fellowship program, I was looking for a group of like-minded pro-life student activists, a support system within the pro-life movement, and individual leadership growth. What I didn’t realize at the time is that I would get all that and more! I live in an upper middle class area with a well to do school and

In January of 2019, I heard about SFLA’s Fellowships and was instantly interested in learning more.

Brenna Lewis | June 9, 2020
You remember Ruth. Ruth is a student at Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado. Two years ago, she became pregnant. She didn’t know what to do. Her baby’s father was pressuring her into getting an abortion. Ruth came from a religious family, but she still contemplated getting an abortion. So Ruth scheduled an appointment at a Planned Parenthood in Denver. While

Mary Briganti | June 9, 2020
This past fall, as our school’s Students for Life group began to plan our diaper drive event, we knew we wanted to provide resources to local parents in need. So we set our sights on the national high school diaper drive record: 41,000 diapers. We began by talking to teachers around the school, asking them to consider incentivizing their students to bring in diapers for the drive. We asked

Students for Life Helped 20 Mothers Choose Life This School Year!

Most of the time, pro-life advocates will never know the full impact of our efforts. A pro-choice person might change their mind about abortion because of a video we shared, or a pregnant mom might drive right past the abortion facility and never show up to her appointment because she saw a message of hope from someone standing on the

Stephanie Stone | May 11, 2020
On May 7th, 2020 a small group of pro-life student leaders came together to witness outside of Planned Parenthood of Baltimore.

As I drove through

Brenna Lewis | May 11, 2020
As a former foster youth and current foster mom, people ask me questions about foster care often. During National Foster Care Awareness Month, one of the important questions I want to answer is, “How do I help foster youth when I’m not ready to be a foster parent?” First off, I want to address “ready” & say that God does

New Research Study Concludes that Churches Aren’t Talking About Abortion
Brenna Lewis | May 4, 2020
There is no canonical argument for a Christian to support abortion. Across all denominations, there is a general concept of all human beings created in God’s image and that is so from the moment of conception. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,” is a common Bible verse quoted in support of Life. The good news is,
