Programs

We have a wide variety of programs which fall into three major categories, education, legislation and social action.

In education, we have a Speakers Bureau which provides presentations to any sized group for virtually any organization on all Life topics.  We would be happy to accommodate your request.  Call us at the above number or send email.

We also provide a wide range of brochures, pamphlets, and article reprints free of charge, though donations are always welcome.  Our lending library of books, scholarly journals, videos, cassettes, and other audio/visual aids is available to qualified individuals.

In the area of legislation, we maintain a listing of all pro-life candidates.  This information is acquired through questionnaires, public statements, and voting records of incumbents.

Our Lifeline newsletter is sent out bi-monthly with a variety of information on developments in the pro-life area.  You may subscribe to this free publication by providing your mailing address.  Donations to defray the costs of publication and mailing are always welcome.

The Life Communications program is an organization wide effort to communicate the pro-life message to legislators and others in influential positions.   This is especially important when legislation affecting Life is coming up for a vote in the federal or state legislatures.  The program consists of letter, email, and fax writing in addition to telephone calling.  You may join this effort by emailing us or sending a note expressing your interest.  Signing up for this program is an educational experience in itself; you will receive much information about life issues and will be trained in how best to convey your pro-life thoughts to legislators and others.  This is an effort worthy of your serious consideration and is one way in which every citizen may actively participate in the pro-life movement.  Legislators are most influenced by personal communications from their constituents.

Our social action efforts consist of a pregnancy referral service wherein women with troubled pregnancies are referred to agencies offering alternatives to abortion.  Additionally,  Project Love offers financial assistance to individuals in critical need.  Other actions include our annual bus trip to Washington, DC for the March for Life, the Mother's Day rose sale, the Annual Prayer Breakfast, the Annual Dinner, a Silent Auction, and other events.  We also sponsor peaceful prayer vigils outside abortion clinics and other prayer services and events.  If you support our programs,  please join us.
