At the core of the pro-life movement is a profound belief in the sanctity of every human life. This conviction is not merely a matter of policy but a deeply held moral principle that underscores the value of human dignity from conception to natural death. This perspective advocates for the protection of the unborn, the support of mothers, and the preservation of the family unit, reflecting a commitment to nurturing life in all its forms.

In classrooms today

There is a direct connection with what is being forced on children in schools today (public and private) and the abortion industry. A view from the classroom of today would astound onlookers that mental health and social, emotional, and behavioral interventions have replaced academics. With these wrap-around mental health services and interventions into personalities, values, beliefs, and dispositions at school, teachers are expected and forced to monitor and collect personal behavioral data on our children that has nothing to do with education. Data is collected, logged into state longitudinal data systems, shared, and ultimately, exposes our children to ‘surveillance capitalism.’ This personal data is freely given and used by outside contractors, foundations, and businesses to create software, curricula, activities, and programs that delve into changing the personal qualities of children and their families according to a government set of objectives. Schools represent a “captive audience” and as such, prime targets for social policy change. From a purely educational viewpoint, this could be termed “The Destruction of the American Educational System.” From a health care perspective, this could be viewed as “The Subversion of the world’s Finest System of Health Care.” From a societal vantage point, this could be described as “The Subduing of the American Family.”

Planned Parenthood in the Classroom

Terms to know: Risk Avoidance and Risk Reduction when discussing Sex Education in public schools? There is a battle in the education world today to control what and how the next generation is taught sex education. Abstinence before marriage/Risk Avoidance versus Risk Reduction/ mitigation of the consequences of having sex before marriage. Planned Parenthood along with SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change have a vested interest in teaching the next generation how to have sex and how to handle the consequences. They are using Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) mandated by law, to promote behavioral change. Abortion the (murdering the child) is a very lucrative industry as well.

Legislative Achievements and Challenges
Conservative efforts to protect life have led to significant legislative achievements at both state and national levels. Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, played a pivotal role in advancing pro-life policies through executive actions and judicial appointments. Trump’s administration saw the reinstatement of the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits U.S. funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortions, reflecting a strong commitment to protecting life on a global scale. (Link to the GOP and Trump’s 2024 platform and policies) Yet, through the Common Core/College and Career Readiness behavior standards American tax dollars are still being used by the abortion industry to access American children.

The Power of Grassroots Advocacy
Grassroots activism has been central to the pro-life movement’s success, with organizations like Students for Life of America mobilizing young people to advocate for life-affirming policies. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life, has energized a new generation of pro-life advocates through education and activism. Hawkins’ work emphasizes the importance of grassroots efforts in shaping public opinion and advancing pro-life causes. (Link to Students for Life of America)

The Vision for a Culture of Life
A vision for a culture of life involves more than legislative victories; it encompasses a societal commitment to upholding human dignity at all stages of life. Through Women on the Wall Rebecca Forest and myself believe we must protect the lives of babies in the womb – the most vulnerable among us. We are “Extremist for Life”

A Call to Action
