“Being pro-life doesn’t save babies, acting pro-life does.”

-Dennis Green

Who We AreWho We Are

We believe that all human life should be protected from conception until natural death.

We seek to educate ourselves and the public about pro-life issues and the value of human life.

We work for the end of abortion in our nation and to spread a culture of life across the Purdue campus.

We realize this mission through peaceful activism, debates, speeches, prayer, and community service projects to support local organizations that aid women in crisis pregnancies.

What we face…What we face…

From 1973 through 2002, more than 42 million legal abortions have occurred in the U.S.

In the United States alone, there are approximately 3,500 abortions performed EACH DAY

For every 1000 live births, there are 306 abortions.49% of pregnancies among American women are unintended; about 40% of these are terminated by abortion

Medical abortions make up approximately 3% of all abortions reported, less than 1% due to rape of incest.
