“History shows that when righteous causes face persecution and discouragement, they don’t fade: they grow stronger. That’s exactly what we’re witnessing with the Pro-Life Generation,” said Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America. “Our team and students unite for preborn children, and the impact speaks volumes.”  For media inquiries, contact [email protected].   WASHINGTON, D.C. (10-17-2025)— In a time when free speech is under siege and pro-life students face escalating hostility from the Left, Students for Life of

As a Regional Coordinator at Students for Life of America (SFLA), I encounter a wide range of pro-abortion arguments every day. Some students claim abortion should be legal because they don’t believe a fetus is human. Others argue that the government shouldn’t interfere in personal health decisions. And some, quite bluntly, admit they don’t mind killing babies.  There’s a pro-life response to every pro-abortion argument—but what happens when a student doesn’t have one? Unfortunately,

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

After nearly 60 years, Bowling Green State University (BGSU) in Ohio has finally removed a disrespectful and disgusting display featuring 30 miscarried babies preserved in jars. According to current students whose parents and grandparents also attended BGSU, the display had been in place since at least the 1970s. It showcased preborn children from all three trimesters, accompanied by descriptions of their health conditions or abnormalities, where applicable. 

“When the government fails to follow its own processes, it’s up to the  Pro-Life Generation to demand accountability,” said Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America. “These petitions are a reinforced line in the sand. It’s time to protect women, children, and the ecosystems endangered by the FDA’s negligence in allowing deadly pills to be distributed without concern for the lives lost

Students for Life of America (SFLA) stands up for Life every day. Last month, however, we made our voices heard at two major Planned Parenthood events, showing the strength and resolve of our movement in the face of adversity and potential (and almost certain) hostility.  On the evening of September 16th, the Pro-Life Generation (PLG) gathered in Indianapolis to protest the open house for Planned Parenthood’s new administrative office. We’re always disheartened when a new Planned Parenthood building opens its doors, but we’re determined to ensure the

On Tuesday, October 7th, I was on campus at Salisbury University with my coworker, Savannah O’Brien, hosting Students for Life of America’s (SFLA) “All Human Life is Valuable” Fall Tour. We set up at 10 a.m. and began engaging students in meaningful conversations. The morning went smoothly. Members of the Planned Parenthood club stopped by, and we had an honest yet civil dialogue about abortion and the troubling
