Students for Life is the University of Michigan's leading pro-life activist group. Anyone who has a strong belief in the sanctity of life is welcome to join our group. We hold that human life is sacred from the very moment of conception until the last natural breath and that it is not only unreasonable but contrary to our Declaration of Independence to intentionally destroy human life, whether through abortion, embryonic stem cell research, or "mercy killing". We see these as injustices and brutal crimes that should not be committed in a civilized world, but most of all, we see them for what they are: the active murder of one human being by another.
We have participated in the March for Life in Washington D.C. the past few years, brought the controversial but effective Genocide Awareness Project to campus in Fall 2000, and participate in Life Chain yearly. Aside from that, SFL brings prominent speakers to campus, volunteers at Problem Pregnancy Help Center and at Mott's Children's Hospital, leads protests and vigils, and writes letters to campus publications.
