• Serrin Foster, President, Feminists for Life
  • “Congratulations on your successful annual conference! I have been so pleased to watch the increased participation by student leaders at American Collegians for Life, now Students for Life of America,conferences over the past 12 years. This year’s turnout appeared to be the best ever. The energy of these campus leaders and activists is infectious, and the work you put into educating the leaders of tomorrow is sure to create a better world for women and children at highest risk of abortion. Feminists for Life is proud to support your efforts. We look forward to close collaboration with you in the coming years.”

• Terry Weaver, USA National Director, Birthright International
  • “After many years of working to support women in crisis pregnancies, I know first hand how critical it is to have a pro-life presence on college campuses. A college pro-life movement is exactly what is needed to reach out to young women experiencing crisis pregnancies and to develop future leaders who will promote a culture of life for years to come.”

• Kristen Day, Executive Director, Democrats for Life
  • “We commend Students for Life of America for their tireless efforts to promote a culture of life. Their work to educate college students about alternatives and support for college women who find themselves in unplanned pregnancies should be applauded. SFLA’s continued work will be of great help to Democrats For Life of America as we work to reduce the abortion rate in America through support and help for pregnant women.”

• Fr. Frank Pavone, Founder and President, Priests for Life
  • “I’m a big fan of Students for Life of America! This organization is doing exactly what needs to be done on the campuses of our nation, and I urge everyone in the pro-life movement – whether a student or not – to give Students for Life their full support!”

• Mary Cunningham Agee, President and Founder, The Nurturing Network
  • “Over the past two decades since founding The Nurturing Network, it has been my honor to work along side dedicated organizations like Students for Life of America in training and supporting local student leaders in ways that help them to effectively communicate the most culturally-defining human rights issue of our time. Students for Life of America is demonstrating that placing values into action in a tangible way is an essential component in helping to build an authentic and lasting culture of life. Where better to inspire a deep respect for the value of all human life than in the university environment where the idealism and activism of young people provide so much reason for hope.”

• Senator Tom Coburn
  • “As a pro-life elected official and a physician, I see the far reaching effects of abortion on our nation. Students for Life of America is saving the future generation by reaching out to future leaders. By expanding the pro-life movement on college campuses Students for Life of America is making unprecedented advances in ending abortion.”

• Phyllis Schafly, Founder, Eagle Forum
  • “For the pro-life movement to be successful, young people must join the ranks in pro-life activism. Students for Life of America is raising up student leaders to defend and protect life on their college campuses. Students for life is satisfying a great need within the pro-life movement.”

• Connie Marshner, Former Advisor to President Reagan
  • “Students for Life of America has a vision that is long overdue, a plan that works, and the talent to carry out the plan. Watch for SFLA to change the conversation about life in the next generation.”

• John Paul DeGance, Former Executive Director, Conservative Leadership PAC
  • “Among the panoply of pro-life non-profits, only Students for Life of America has a focus exclusively on college students. Without a doubt, our nation must win over this critical demographic before America will ever recognize the citizenship of the pre-born. Students for Life effectively organizes, activates, and empowers the next generation of pro-lifer leaders, side-walk counselors, activists, voters, and parents. As an experienced campus organizer, I know that SFLA employs both cutting edge tools as well as sound, time-tested techniques to reach students. Their campus organizational strategy is the most critical work going on in the Pro-Life Movement today.”

• Hon. Ron Paul, Congressman
  • “Students for Life of America is doing the grassroots work needed to end abortion. Liberty doesn’t mean much when you lack the right to life, and all of those who believe in the cause of liberty ought to be doing something to end abortion in America. By starting and improving campus pro-life groups, Students for Life of America is doing the work that every patriot should be concerned with: trying to end abortion on campuses where so many abortions take place.”

• Dr. Michael New, Professor, University of Alabama
  • “Students for Life of America is working to end abortions in the one place many women decide to have them: college campuses. As a professor, and someone who has spent time on many college campuses, I know that Students for Life of America is working in the right place,at the right time, with the right skills to end abortion.”

• Mark Harris, Former Executive Director, Students for Saving Social Security
  • “As a former campus activist and candidate for state office in Pennsylvania, I know the state of abortion in both the campus culture and the culture at large. Many feel like there’s nothing they can do to change either, but not Students for Life of America. They are changing campuses and trying to solve this tragedy by starting campus groups and growing pro-life leadership. They have the plan, leadership and vision to change colleges to be more pro-life, and in so doing change America.”

• Fr. Terence Henry, President, Franciscan University of Steubenville
  • “College years can be a time of great formation or a time of great confusion for young adults. Students for Life of America forms and strengthens pro-life students, encouraging them to stand against culture of death lies with the truth of the dignity and sacredness of human life.”

• Jeff Frazee, Former Deputy Field Director, Campus Leadership Program, The Leadership Institute
  • “Within the campus movement, few organizations are as focused and tailored to their issue as Students for Life of America. Many groups do great work, but none provide a field program and the all the necessary resources college students need. Our government funds the death of 3600 babies everyday. SFLA is committed to ending this genocide.”

• Hon. Duncan Hunter, Congressman
  • “Although America faces enemies abroad, the battle to protect unborn children is waged in America every day. In this effort, this struggle for life, Students for Life of America works to end abortion on college campuses. This work is vital to the integrity of America, and for a future generation of students not yet born. The success of Students for Life of America and their field program will enable pro-life students on campuses to work for a stronger America.”

• Hon. Alex Mooney, Maryland Senator
  • “As a pro-life elected official and the former president of my college pro-life group, I know firsthand the need for more pro-life activists, students, and leaders. If our cause is to succeed, the pro-life movement needs Students for Life of America to succeed with their aggressive field program and emphasis on building pro-life activists. I’m confident that with their direction, leadership, and vision, they will.”

• Jack Ames, Founder, Defend Life

They are the only pro-life organization that is actively expanding our movement on college campuses. The students they are bringing into the movement will be life-long activists in the fight to end abortion and defend life.”
