Compelled by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and our respect for life, the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust speak out on behalf of over 50,000,000 children lost to abortion in America since 1973.
Dedicated to defending the right to life of future generations, we are engaged in a battle to end America's genocide. We recognize the urgency of this war, as over 3,000 children die each day in the United States because of abortion.
The Survivors feel that we are directly affected by this holocaust because it happened to us -we are the target. Abortion has claimed the lives of our classmates, friends, our brothers and sisters. We feel it is our obligation to tell their story for them and compel the world to recognize us as the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.
The Survivors encourage and empower the youth of today as they dare to rise up against the slaughter of innocent children through abortion. We are committed to educating and equipping young activists who have a heart for the pre-born and are willing to be used by God to "defend those unjustly sentenced to death."
We believe that it is not enough to know that abortion is wrong...
...we are called to expose the horrific truth to the world.
We believe in God, the Creator of all things and the Giver of Life. We believe that human life
is precious in the eyes of the Creator. Human life from conception until natural death should
be protected and its sanctity upheld. We believe that abortion in all of its forms is evil
and mocks the sanctity of human life.
Like our founding patriot fathers and the Civil War abolitionists, The Survivors believe that
abortion is the issue of our day and we must labor in earnest to end this travesty so that our
posterity need not bear the label of Survivors.
We believe sex was designed by God for the marriage relationship. We believe that to prevent
unwanted pregnancies people should behave responsibly by practicing sexual purity until
marriage. Sexual abstinence is the first step to abortion prevention.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our one and only Savior and Redeemer. We believe
in the forgiveness of sins, including the sin of abortion, through His sacrifice on the cross.
In our efforts to fight against abortion and educate our peers, our ultimate goal is to reach
out to the lost and broken with the gospel of Christ and His message of life for all. We
believe our work would be in vain if we were to educate and influence the minds of those
around us, but ignore their hearts.
The Beginning
On the 22nd day of January 1998, we as a nation marked the 25th anniversary of the Supreme
Court decision known as "Roe vs. Wade". This also marked the beginning of a new breed of
advocates for life: The Survivors.
Founded by Jeff White and Cheryl Conrad, national leaders in the pro-life movement, the
Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust have affected thousands of lives by equipping and
activating the youth of America to speak out against abortion. Trained Survivors bring
their honed debate skills and expert activism to events across the U.S.
Media
The Survivors have been featured in Teen People, Jane Magazine, Los Angeles Times, and other national publications. Survivors have appeared on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and many local television channels across the country.
In August of 2006, the Survivors were featured in the "Pro-Life/Pro-Choice" episode of the FX Channel television show 30 Days.
ProLife Training
Since 1998, the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust have conducted an annual ProLife Training Camps for high school and college students. Dedicated to education and activism, the summer conferences equip youth to effectively fight against abortion in their churches, schools, towns, and across the nation. Conference attendees are trained in pro-life apologetics and debate skills, fetal development, sidewalk counseling, media relations, event planning and leadership, law enforcement and legal issues, evangelism, and other extensive topics. The Survivors (individual attendees) are given an opportunity to utilize their training during the last half of the conference, practicing their skills in real life activism.
As part of their dedication to equipping and activating youth, the Survivors offer one or
multi-day training courses and seminars throughout the year. Geared toward groups of pro-life
high school and college students desirous of making a difference, the Survivors seminars feature
expertly trained speakers to educate the youth and lead them in cutting-edge activism.
Activism
Some of the Survivors regular activities have included: annual ProLife Training Camps; Christmas caroling and sidewalk counseling at local abortion mills; peaceful die-ins; Show the Truth sidewalk displays; Weekend Training Seminars; Campus Life Tours; weekly meetings to train youth in logic, critical thinking, debate, and evangelism skills; annual events to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade; Survivor Sunday, an annual event on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday; volunteering at a home for unwed mothers; and other activities to expose and educate our peers on the horrors of abortion.
Campus Life Tour
The Survivors are pioneers in regular on-campus activism with the Campus Life Tours. Using
educational displays, literature and discussion as their tools, teams of college-age Survivors
have been educating their peers at campuses across the U.S. since 2001. Tour members have
dedicated semesters and even years of their lives to this important work, and over 1,000 high
school and college campuses have been exposed to the truth of abortion since CLT's launch.
Personal stories of lives affected by the Campus Life Tour abound, and scores of preborn children
have been saved because of the Survivors' dedicated efforts.
Special Events
In addition to regular monthly and annual activities, the Survivors are often leaders and participants at national and international special events. The Survivors engaged in effective activism at the 1999 International Pro-Life Youth Conference in Dublin, Ireland; the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, California; the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah; the pro-abortion 2004 March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C.; the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts; 1998-2009 Roe v. Wade anniversary events in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Sacramento, California; advocating life for Terri Schiavo in 2005 in Florida; confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court Justices in Washington, D.C; EarthFair in San Diego, California; the 2006 International Pro-Life and Family Conference in Dublin, Ireland; the 2008 New Hampshire presidential primaries; and A Prayer for Change at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.
