Historic First Amendment Victory!
Yesterday, the University of Alabama
apologized to the pro-life group on campus, Bama Students for Life, and
reversed their decision after they removed Bama SFL’s approved student
display on campus because an administrator deemed it “offensive.” The
University stated that will allow Bama Students for Life to set up
their pro-life display on campus once again.
Bama Students for
Life and Students for Life of America thank the University of Alabama
officials for rethinking their decision and allowing pro-life students
to openly express their First Amendment and free speech rights on
campus.
While we are grateful that university officials reversed
their position and apologized to Bama Students for Life, it is a stark
reminder that
pro-life speech and the First Amendment continue to be under attack on
America’s universities and colleges. I commend Bama Students for Life
for
refusing to be intimidated into surrendering their First Amendment
rights and standing up to ensure their thoughts and beliefs would be
freely heard
at the University of Alabama.”

'Tiny Blue Lines'
For those of you who have read our stories of young student moms, many
of you
will remember the story of Chaunie Brusie, who became a mother as a
21-year-old senior in college. Since giving birth to her daughter, Ada,
Chaunie
has courageously embraced her motherhood, and she has used her story to
inspire and encourage other young women experiencing unplanned
pregnancies.
But that’s not all! Chaunie just published a book!
In
her new book, Tiny
Blue Lines, Chaunie once again shares her story and details her journey
into motherhood. Throughout the book, she offers snip-its of her own
life
experiences as well as testimonies from other young women. The stories
are honest reflections of young motherhood. With a great mix humor and
practical advice, she answers questions about announcing the pregnancy,
preparing for birth, relationship decisions, post-baby body, responding
to
strangers, and more. Moreover, it offers helpful resources for
understanding your new pregnancy and moving forward as a mother and a
student.
