The Five Pillars of Pro-Life Activism

Once you’ve learned about abortion and realized you feel called to do something about it, you’re probably wondering how you can make a difference. There are MANY different ways you can take action to protect the preborn. Students for Life, after years of working with students and learning what works and what doesn’t, has adopted what we call the 5 Pillars of Pro-Life Activism.

The 5 Pillars of Pro-Life Activism have been carefully identified and crafted to mirror the main areas of pro-life work with which to engage in order to make abortion unthinkable as well as illegal. The Pillars represent a well-rounded, strategic, and effective approach that can be utilized not only by Students for Life groups but by activists of all ages.
