‘Pro-Choice’ Isn’t Pro-Woman: Students for Life Action’s Mary Kate Horlander in Townhall
Mary Mobley | February 16, 2026
The abortion industry loves to paint itself as a compassionate care provider for women and children. Of course, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Data abounds on the abortion industry’s failure to meet even basic standards of care. For proof, one needs to look no further than the New York Times’ stunning expose on Planned Parenthood from last year, which described a “Planned Parenthood in crisis” — rushed ten-minute appointments, failures to log STD tests, misplaced IUDs, staff’s inability

WATCH: Can’t-Miss Moments from First-Ever Abortion Debate Showdown
Mary Mobley | February 5, 2026
The national pro-life march is always special — but this year’s was better than ever thanks to the first-ever Abortion Debate Showdown, which featured Students for Life’s own Kristan Hawkins and Lydia Taylor Davis taking on pro-abortionists Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines and Whitney Shanahan. The debate was the perfect precursor to Students for Life of America’s National Pro-Life Summit — but it didn’t come without controversy. Didn’t get a

5 Lies Planned Parenthood Sells
Mary Mobley | January 14, 2026
What Big Abortion Doesn’t Want You to Know Planned Parenthood paints itself as a bastion of the local community — an organization dedicated to providing affordable, quality health care to women and underserved minorities. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only do Planned Parenthood sites often suffer from abysmal conditions, but Planned Parenthood itself often provides misleading or deceptive information to downplay the risks of abortion (typically, without citing a single source to

Abortion Leading Cause of Death in 2025; WHO Calls for Expanding Access
Mary Mobley | January 5, 2026
In 2025, pre-born babies had just a 71% chance of survival in the womb. That’s according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), which released a fact sheet in December detailing the need for improved “essential health care.” What’s shocking about WHO’s report? The organization’s number doesn’t account for unintentional injuries, ectopic pregnancies, or any other leading causes of

It’s Not ‘Star Wars,’ It’s Real: Chinese Billionaire Reportedly Fathered 100+ Via Surrogacy
Mary Mobley | December 18, 2025
In a story that seems straight out of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” a Chinese billionaire has allegedly fathered more than 100 U.S.-born children via surrogacy. According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, Xu Bo, a Chinese videogame executive, says he hopes to have at least 20 children—boys, because they’re superior to girls—born through surrogacy in the U.S. His goal? For them to one day

Salisbury University Incident Update: Apology, Resolution, and Lessons for the Pro-Life Movement
Rachel Nesmith | November 13, 2025
It all started on October 9, when our “All Human Life is Valuable” campus tour at Salisbury University abruptly took a turn. During a Students for Life of America tabling event designed to foster dialogue about the dignity of every human life, a male student staged a grotesque act of protest using a coat hanger and a basketball. He mimicked giving himself an abortion, played vulgar music, and shouted offensive remarks. The

Persistence Pays Off: Student Establishes Students for Life Group at Stockdale High Despite Administrative Pushback
Mia Akins | October 30, 2025
Ella Porter is a Junior at Stockdale High School in Bakersfield, California, and president of the newly formed Stockdale Students for Life group. While the group only became official this semester, its story started back in the Summer of 2023. Ella always grew up pro-life. “If you were to ask my friends and family, I’ve always had a very maternal heart,” Ella shared. “Being pro-life was a thing I

Can’t Win the Debate? Just Steal Students for Life’s Gear
Mia Akins | October 29, 2025
Written by Mia Akins and Allison Clements Our objective when visiting campus is always to have respectful conversations with students about abortions. Unfortunately, not everyone champions free speech and open dialogue. Students for Life of America (SFLA) Pacific Northwest Regional Coordinator Allison Clements and Campus Formation Coordinator Mia Akins visited the University of Washington-Bothell with the Planned Parenthood Cemetery of Innocents Display. The display has 1,102

SFLA Alum Celebrates 5+ Years of Leading National Nonprofit “Let Them Live”
Emily Berning | October 28, 2025
I was a sophomore in college when the Lord really put it on my heart to start learning about abortion and what it means to be pro-life. I grew up pro-life, but this was the first time I ever felt deeply convicted to take action. I remember going through the campus directory to see if there was already a pro-life group I could join. There was one listed, but

Miracle at Mott: Michigan Mom Chooses LIFE
Morgan Reece | October 27, 2025
On October 14, I hosted a recruitment tabling event at Mott Community College, in collaboration with their Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter. This girl signed up for the club but hesitated to tell me she just found out last week that she was pregnant. After I packed up and was about to leave, I was walking back into Mott Community College to use the restroom when the girl approached
