Back to School & The 1st Amendment
The start of the new school is nearly here and inevitably it will
bring yet another round of poignant First Amendment cases where pro-life
students will be harassed, discriminated against and in some cases, be
forced to file lawsuits against their schools for the right to even

Students for Life of America works closely with Alliance Defending

pro-life students at Christian schools. The conference was held at the

we know that students at Christian schools are not just getting
pregnant, but are having abortions, partly because their schools do not
support them in choosing Life for their children. And at some Christian
schools, the administration and student government won’t even allow the
Students for Life group to get started.
