“To give social conservatives a reason to vote, we want to ensure that those ideals are not thrown away or weakened based on the mistaken view that voters won’t notice if no pro-life choice exists,” said Student for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins, in a letter to GOP leaders.
SFLAction’s GOP for Life Campaign Includes:
- Reaching out to all Republican National Committee (RNC) members
- Mobilizing the Pro-Life Generation to contact state Republican leadership
- Calling on candidates and elected officials to pledge to stand strong for LIFE
- Targeting digital messages in key states
- Detailing a vibrant Pro-Life Agenda
WASHINGTON D.C. (05-20-2024) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins announced the launch GOP FOR LIFE, an SFLAction initiative that calls on the leadership of the only national political party standing with women and preborn children to stay strong on the human rights issue of our day – abortion. SFLAction will be reaching out to the RNC Party leadership, leading up to GOP platform committee debates, to ask for unapologetic defense of preborn life and opposition to abortion.
The campaign includes a GOP FOR LIFE website for organizing outreach to RNC leadership, as well as a pledge for them personally, to commit to protecting life in law and in service in the GOP Platform.

The launch includes a letter sent to RNC leadership, detailing the importance of the GOP in providing a defense of the preborn and their mothers as well as a reason for pro-life voters to choose the GOP.

Hawkins writes in part: “… The Democratic Party advocates and fights for abortion without limits, funded by taxpayers, without regard for conscience rights of medical workers, up to and including support for withholding medical care for infants born during botched abortions. Pro-life Americans are not against the Democratic Party … the party is against them, pushing a radical agenda out of touch with the vast majority of Americans. That hostility has been a boon to the GOP, where a compassionate alternative was available.
Defining that distinction between the Democratic Party that will limit no abortion and the Republican Party with a different world view will be vital for social issue voters this November. The Republican Party has long understood the reality of President Ronald Reagan’s coalition – balanced on the three-legged stool of conservatism – National Defense Conservatives, Economic Conservatives, and Social Issue Conservatives, which included Reagan Democrats who were disenchanted with the increasing radicalism of their party. In fact, fighting for the human rights of human beings was a commitment that President Abraham Lincoln exemplified at the founding of the Republican Party. … As I’ve written in the Washington Times, ‘the Republican Party lately makes a risky bet — that undercutting the principled position on human life will appeal to moderates who favor abortion access or independents who will never turn out in numbers to vote for the GOP on this issue. The party loses voter enthusiasm, loses the moral high ground, and loses credibility.’”
Outreach of the GOP FOR LIFE initiative includes asking candidates and voters to prioritize protecting life in law and in service, WITHOUT weakening the commitment to address abortion at the local, state, AND federal levels.
