MANASSAS, Va. (WordNews.org) Sept. 13, 2012 – Students for Life of America, a pro-life youth organization, is visiting campuses in battle ground states to promote anti-abortion candidates.
The initiative is called “I Vote Pro-Life First” and the goal is to educate 300,000 voters and recruit 1,200 Get-Out-The-Vote volunteers
The movement calls on Americans to sign pledges committing to vote for candidates based solely on issues relating to abortion—from the school board to the president.
The tour will include universities in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and, Pennsylvania. Former nurse and pro-life activist and blogger Jill Stanek headlining the tour.
“If a candidate does not support the basic right to life, we believe they cannot be trusted to handle any other issue, fiscal or social, with honor and dignity,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America. “We plan to educate voters, recruit volunteers, and urge voters to vote for the candidates that respect life in all its stages.”
The I Vote Pro-Life First initiative is a coalition effort with other national pro-life organizations such as RNC for Life, Live Action, The Justice Foundation, Pro-Life Nation, Rock for Life, I Am Whole Life, The Frederick Douglass Foundation, Lifenews.com, JillStanek.com, AbolishAbortion.com, Pro-Life Action League, California Civil Rights Foundation, and Created Equal.
