About
Us |
St. Joseph County Right to Life, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the social welfare by promoting life. We are affiliated with Indiana Right to Life, Inc. We are dedicated to the protection of all innocent human life—the unborn, the infirm or handicapped, and the aged. We save lives.
We are the oldest, continuously active pro-life organization in St. Joseph
County, and are the central organization representing pro-life interests.
We help make women aware that there are alternatives to abortion. We work
with counselors who can assist women in crisis pregnancies. We support
and encourage all who are willing to help a woman with an unexpected pregnancy,
especially Hannah’s House and the Women’s Care Centers in
St. Joseph County. We refer post-abortive women and men to counseling
to help heal the emotional scars caused by abortion.
We visit schools and groups to educate the public and members of government
about abortion, embryonic stem cell and fetal stem cell research, mercy
killing, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. We provide books, tapes, and
videos to the public. And we sponsor educational campaigns through the
major media such as billboards, television, radio, and newspaper.
We work to introduce and support legislation to protect the unborn and
their parents from abortion. This includes laws that would completely
and accurately inform mothers of the development of their unborn child
and the risks of abortion. Our ultimate goal is the ratification of the
Human Life Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would guarantee
the right to life of all human beings from the moment of conception.
St. Joseph County Right to Life, Inc. also monitors life issues in our
community. We help make sure that abortion providers and others who are
anti-life, do not overstep their legal bounds. We encourage regulation
of the abortion industry. And we contest the use of public funds for abortion
or for promoting the abortion industry.
We inform the public about corporations and nonprofit organizations that
directly or indirectly support abortion rights and/or the abortion industry.
Furthermore, we encourage these entities to stop supporting abortion.
Our organization is made up of laborers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, business
and media professionals, priests and ministers, athletes, teachers, stay-at-home
parents, and retirees. Our membership is open to people of all races,
religions, and socioeconomic standing. St. Joseph County Right to Life
is nonsectarian, but we do recognize prayer as our most valuable tool
against abortion and euthanasia.
Our focus is specific to the protection of innocent life. We are opposed
to surgical and chemically induced abortion, including abortifacients.
We are opposed to the deliberate killing of innocent human beings at any
stage of life. We do not take a position on other issues such as contraception
or capital punishment. Moreover, we do not advocate nor practice violence
or civil disobedience.
St. Joseph County Right to Life, Inc. has a proven record of saving lives
and bringing about positive change.
Our Mission Statement Life is our most fundamental right, and our most precious gift. Abortion and euthanasia end innocent human lives while shattering countless others physically, emotionally, and spiritually. St. Joseph County Right to Life saves children, women, and men from the devastating effects of abortion and euthanasia. |
