Our Mission
The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, Inc., is committed to promoting the dignity and value of human life from conception to natural death and to restoring legal protection for preborn children. Through legislation, political action, education and other legal means, we proclaim the truth about abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.
We are a statewide grassroots right to life organization and the Pennsylvania affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee in Washington, D.C. (www.nrlc.org) We seek legal protection and societal respect for the right of every child to live, and promote viable alternatives to abortion, such as adoption and assisted parenting.
Position Statements
Where we stand on important issues
Medical and scientific evidence leaves no room for doubt that an individual is a unique human person at the point of conception and that person’s right to life should be respected by society and protected by law.
Legal abortion hurts women and denies them their right to legal protection from the death of their children and the destruction of their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
The right-to-life movement must continue to reach out in love to women in need, before and after birth to provide positive alternatives and enable them to choose life for their child.
Abortion is a lethal choice many women never cease to regret. We actively reach out to women who have been pressured or deceived into aborting a child and help them find the physical and emotional healing they need, so that they may restore their lives and be enabled to have good relationships and stable families.
The right to life should be protected until the point of natural death. We do not seek measures to unnaturally prolong life and pain, but measures to prevent a physician or other individual from ending a life prematurely when natural causes don’t.
We promote better education and pain management and programs like hospice that allow terminal patients to cherish their last days of life in relative comfort and maintain their human dignity. We believe euthanasia robs patients of their right to comfort care and treatment for depression brought on by a terminal illness.
We object to the nonconsensual use of human beings as “guinea pigs” through experimentation on aborted babies and disagree with the assertion that the society can benefit from the violence of abortion by making use of the aborted bodies for our own needs.
We actively oppose infanticide, the killing of an innocent newborn baby, and work, through legislative and educational means, to prevent such a brutal practice.
We support only peaceful efforts to restore the right to life and strongly condemn any acts of violence against advocates of abortion. Such violent acts are not “pro-life” and only hurt the cause of generating respect for human life.
We do not take part in or condone any illegal activity in the fight against abortion.
