Introduction

Fifty percent of U.S. women obtaining abortions are younger than 25: Women aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and teenagers obtain 17%. - AGI

With these statistics in mind, one can see the importance of pro-life work on high school and college campuses.  As a club you will need to reach many different types of people.  From the hostile pro-choice advocates as well as those that are on the fence to the motivated pro-life advocate, your mission will be to educate, motivate and inspire these diverse groups of people. 

In this resource packet, you will find how to gain and retain members for your clubs as well as event suggestions that provide you with effective ways to inform the different groups of people on your campus in regards to abortion and other life issues.  You will also be given tools on how to fundraise and suggestions for how to get your members active in the pro-life movement.  There are incredible resources available to help assist you in all your pro-life needs.  Many of them are listed in the packet.   

The Underground Project is the youth outreach branch of Arizona Right to Life.  We are committed to articulating and protecting the right to life of all innocent human beings, born and unborn. This is accomplished by educating people on the value of every human life and by promoting and supporting pro-life legislation, public policy and elected officials.  The goal of this resource packet is to provide people with knowledge of how to educate on pro-life issues as well as effective tools for public outreach.  From embryonic stem cell research and abortion, to euthanasia and physician assisted suicide, one sees that pro-life issues are not complex, but actually quite simple; human beings should be treated humanely and to do this we must courageously expose the inhumanity of abortion, euthanasia and all other threats to innocent human life
