As U.S. Senate Watch Continues, Students for Life Action Welcomes A U.S. House in the wings, A New Hope, & New Engagement on the Human Rights Issue of Abortion

“For all the media spin that abortion only works as an issue when you want more of it, pro-life voters delivered some strong leadership to this Congress, looking for real protections for the preborn,” said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins. “We’re releasing our Pro-Life Generation Blueprint for Post-Roe America even as the votes continue to be counted because the #ProLifeGen is ready to work with those defending the innocent.” 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (11-09-2022) – Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins welcomed an expected new U.S. House as the Senate watch continues. “Our Vote Pro-Life First campaign aided pro-life Republicans, though abortion should not be a partisan issue. Still, as President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer pushed a radical agenda of abortion without limits, pro-life America pushed back,” said Hawkins. “As newly elected and returning office holders organize for the new year, with a new hope for America’s future, we are releasing The Pro-Life Generation’s 2023 Blueprint for a Post-Roe America.  

Hawkins continued, “Democrats spent $400-plus million this election cycle trying to convince Americans that the right to end the life of an inconvenient human being was a fundamental issue, and it didn’t have the impact they wanted. Close races around the country are still at play, and the U.S. House can now be a backstop against radical abortion extremism. With Roe behind us, our next challenges will be to show people how we can protect life in law and in service.

“Ending the tragedy of abortion and helping women and their children – born and preborn – is a vital agenda item at every level of government, as it will take all of us to reverse a 50-year course in the wrong direction. Students for Life Action will be sending our Blueprint to legislators across the country, and we will be out in force at the January national pro-life march, letting Congress know that abortion IS a federal issue because ending innocent life is a problem for all of us to fix.”  To read more on abortion as a federal issue, click here for Hawkins’ recent letter to Congress.

SEVEN ACTION ITEMS 

  1. Enshrine Protection for HUMAN LIFE in the Womb in the Law. Life begins at conception, so that is when the law must protect life. Life at Conception Acts or Heartbeat Abortion Limits must be introduced, debated, and voted for by legislators.
  2. Defund Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry
  3. End the Chemical Abortion Cartel
  4. Promote Adoption
  5. Support Pregnant & Parenting Women on Campus
  6. Encourage Family-Friendly, Work-Friendly Employment
  7. Hold Corporate Abortion Accountable by tracking life and health repercussions of abortion. 

“A pro-life agenda for a better future for women and their families is why we worked so hard,” said Hawkins.

Promising signs for the pro-life movement in every corner of the country

As a mega grassroots mobilizer, SFLAction has deployed more than 1,000 student activists this election cycle to canvass in 33 states around the country. In addition, SFLAction has educated more than 250,000 voters at their doorsteps and has utilized its #VoteProLifeFirst digital campaign to run ads, send peer-to-peer text messages, and make phone calls to reach another seven million voters.

Locking in on one-third of the voting bloc, Gen Z and Millennial voters have been rapidly mobilizing on their campuses and communities to get their peers to join them and pledge to #VoteProLifeFirst. This campaign has seen more than 111,000 (and counting!) Gen Z and Millennial voters change their minds and pledge to #VoteProLifeFirst.

In key states, SFLAction has:

  • Personally texted nearly 3,110,252 voters exposing the abortion lobby’s propaganda.
  • Made 2,051,680 phone calls to pro-life voters.
  • Launched cutting-edge Vote Pro-Life First digital ads, focusing on the youth vote that were viewed over 8,988,106 times.
  • Exposed nearly a dozen pro-abortion candidates who are #TooExtreme4Me through Overpass Outreach.

As noted by The Washington Post, SFLAction is “one of the largest antiabortion organizations in the country,” and has long been preparing legislatively for a Post-Roe America. Fox News recognizes SFLAction “has already been pushing state legislatures” and our growing influence has even reached pro-abortion leading researcher Mary Ziegler who noted the power of our mobilization in The Atlantic.
