Students in discussion

 

The Survivors promote activism and outreach, encouraging youth to take an intelligent and informed stand against abortion.

We believe in education and action combined - an uneducated activist may be well-meaning, but his/her effectiveness can be limited.

In the same way, a person may be quite informed and know all the facts, but does nothing to share that information and make a difference in other people's lives.

Survivors staff members are expertly trained and experienced in all aspects of pro-life debate and activism.

We are always available to speak or lead activism in your local area, and encourage you to contact us if you are interested in bringing a Survivors speaker to your group, classroom, or church.

Begin now - don't wait to learn more about abortion. Trained Survivors are known for their ability to debate even the toughest opponent, and respected for their solid fact and faith based pro-life education. The least you can do for your generation is know the facts and be prepared to share with anyone who may not know the full truth of abortion.

If any questions or concerns remain after browsing through these resources, feel free to contact the Survivors staff and we will be glad to respond.

Induction Method
The induction method involves locating the baby's heart through ultrasound, injecting a drug into the heart to kill the fetus, and delivery of a dead baby. It enables abortionists to perform abortions on preborn babies up to the day of birth. This method is being used by late-term abortionists instead of the now-banned Partial Birth Abortion procedure.

Post Abortion

Because of the sheer numbers of abortions performed in America since 1973 (over 45 million), it is almost certain that you know someone who has had an abortion. Perhaps you had an abortion in the past. Because of the extent of abortion in our society, millions of people (both men and women) are struggling with the guilt of their child's death.

The organizations below offer confidential support to those who have had an abortion (both mothers and fathers), encouraging healing and recovery. Also an excellent resource if you are supporting a friend or family member after an abortion.

Birth Control

Did you know that many forms of birth control cause abortions? The Pill, IUD, Norplant, and others are in fact abortifacients - drugs that cause the death of tiny humans only days after conception. Check out the links below to learn more:

Euthanasia
