The mission of the Respect Life club is to promote and defend the sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception (fertilization) until natural death. Respect Life is a club that is dedicated to promoting respect for human life - already born and the preborn. Our mission encompasses education, prayer, and activism.
Through education, we seek to make our members aware of the issues surrounding abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research and assisted suicide.
Each year we travel to Washington D.C. to participate in March for Life and attend workshops to equip us to effectively stand for life. We seek to promote the dignity of each person as created in God's image, regardless of abilities or strengths.
In living our pro-life message, our hope is that we can help inform mothers in crisis pregnancy situations that help is available and that there are many options other than abortion. The child in the womb has a soul and a heart and deserves a chance to live. We strive to promote and defend the sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception (fertilization) until natural death, regardless of one's age or ability.
Meetings
Meetings are held biweekly and usually consist of educating ourselves on current threats to life and discussion over topics relevant to the group-activities fundraising ideas, budgets, projects, etc. Through guest speakers and research, we strive to be informed on the issues of abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide in order to defend the truth.
We encourage members to pray in the chapel each day at the beginning of A and B lunch and we stress the necessity of prayer and that there can be no change in the anti-life laws in our country without a change of hearts.
Group activities include helping with Kalamazoo Right to Life projects and organizing a special pro-life outdoor display in January.
