Undercover at the Feminist’s Majority Foundation conference part 1: ‘It’s not about abortion’

This weekend, I attended the Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Young Leaders Conference (FMF), and why not? I’m a 21st Century Feminist, right?

Abortion, pre-requisite for higher education?

Over the past four months, I have been eagerly reading 200 health care policies to investigate how many colleges and universities across the country cover elective abortions and how many require that their students enroll in these abortion health care plans.

Baby saved on Sacramento City College campus!

This story comes from Steve Macias, our West Coast Field Agent who is based out of California, Nevada and Arizona. He has working on campuses in the region and has started 12 pro-life student groups this semester. One of the techniques Students for life of Amercia (SFLA) teaches students and Field Agents is clipboarding. Clipboarding is an easy way to find pro-life students on campus by polling students, asking simple questions, and gathering information. We use this opportunity to either introduce the pro-life message or recruit students to lead a new pro-life group on campus. Steve’s first day on campus […]
