OUR Success
Students for Life Action (SFLAction) was launched in 2019 as a mission-critical partner of Students for Life of America - a 501(c4) that could engage in the politics of abortion and influence key elections to restrict and abolish abortion state by state. In just a few short years, Students for Life Action has become one of the most powerful pro-life groups in America.
Today, Students for Life Action is the leading student-centered organization advocating for life-protecting laws in Congress and in state houses across the country. Since our launch, students and volunteers have knocked on more than 570,000 doors in the districts of key elections, sent millions of text messages to voters, written model legislation that has saved lives, and are leading the charge on always pushing for the very best pro-life laws possible in each state, with the gold standard being Protection at Conception.
Elections
In only the second election cycle since our launch, Students for Life Action achieved a 51% win ratio by engaging in 217 races where the pro-life candidate won 119 seats in 2024. We accomplished this through the tireless efforts of approximately 534 SFLAction student leaders knocking on the doors of nearly 100,000 voters during the 2024 election and sending more than 3.5 million text messages – building a pro-life firewall in Congress. More details here.
Additionally, SFLAction created 13 new digital ad campaigns including the Democrats for Infanticide Campaign, showcasing our opposition’s radical and barbaric abortion agenda. These campaigns reached key regions, resulting in more than 4,000,000 impressions and nearly 24,000 minds changed.
In 2023, SFLAction educated the public on the voting record of eleven GOP primary candidates whose actions were inconsistent with their pro-life commitments. All eleven of them were defeated in their primaries and replaced with Pro-Life Champions across five states, demonstrating SFLAction’s commitment to Republican accountability.
These victories in the primary and general elections have sustained pro-life momentum for state legislation, enabling the Pro-Life Generation to introduce critical measures to protect preborn children in 2025-2026.
Laws
Students for Life Action works to tie the legislative session to the election session. We expect politicians who run on the pro-life platform to work hard to pass strong, life-saving legislation. Our mission is to abolish abortion both statewide and federally.
SFLAction shares model legislation with elected officials relating to ending Chemical Abortion— the leading cause of abortion deaths in the United States - and our ultimate goal of Protection At Conception.
Our response to the Deadly Chemical Abortion Pills has been twofold. First, we highlight the environmental risks posed by Chemical Abortion Pills contaminating wastewater systems. Second, we address the dangers of these drugs being shipped across state lines without proper oversight. Learn more about Chemical Abortion Pill Dangers here.
In 2024, The Pro-Life Generation was mobilized in all 50 states, engaging in legislative battles across more than twenty-six of them. We introduced 12 SFLAction-inspired legislative initiatives, including the Clean Water for All Acts, Life at Conception Acts, and Stop Pill Trafficking legislation.
SFLAction pursued aggressive state activism which led to defeating pro-abortion amendments in New Hampshire, Maine, Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. If passed, these initiatives would have allowed unrestricted abortion access up until birth in their states.
On Capitol Hill, SFAction initiated key pieces of legislation including the Protecting Life at Conception Act (S. 16 & H.R. 435) and the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act (H.R. 6914). We tracked and pushed this legislation by hosting 100+ meetings with legislators in 2024.
For the 2024-2025 school year, SFLAction students led lobby days in 26 key states including South Carolina, Wyoming, Montana and more. These lobby days strengthen the Pro-Life Generation’s (PLG) influence in both state and federal legislation, urging lawmakers to prioritize the protection of preborn lives.
In the first session of 2025 alone, SFLAction worked alongside state legislators to introduce Wastewater Legislation in five states – Idaho, Wyoming, West Virginia, Maine and Arizona - and our Chemical Abortion Pill trafficking legislation in eight others. More on our legislation proposals here.
These wins lay the foundation for a bold 2025 agenda focused on ending Chemical Abortion and saving even more babies!
leaders
We are training Future Pro-Life Champions... leaders who one day may run for elected office in their state, introduce Students for Life Action’s model legislation, and cast votes on laws to protect LIFE.
Training the next generation of pro-life leaders requires investing now to ensure we have leaders trained in a variety of areas, including legally curtailing the abortion industry, lobbying, and campaign organizing. Our SFLAction Captains are the student leaders in their states in the areas of lobbying, campaign organizing, & ending Planned Parenthood the abortion industry’s influence.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Students for Life Action had 18 SFLAction Captains across the country. Our SFLAction Captains continue to lead the fight to pass pro-life legislation, stop pro-abortion legislation, and elect pro-life champions. These State Captains receive monthly training, mentorship from our staff, and help our team lead a variety of grassroots activism events – including door knocking activities, lobby days at their state capitol, testifying before legislative committees, and much more.
