The President of SFLA, Kristan Hawkins, is an incredibly hard-working woman, and the organization is very effective at reaching the prime market for abortionists. Below we have posted Kristan's end of year email.
And here is SFLA's very fine website - their embedded blog is very up to date. Students for Life of America
Here's Kristan's message -
I know firsthand just how hard it is, in the busy-ness of the Christmas holiday, to keep up with all of your e-mails. But I do hope you were able to see the 2018 Program Audit and video our team put together for you this past week.
As I look ahead to 2019, I can’t help but reflect on what an incredible year 2018 was for Students for Life and our pro-life movement.
When you look at what we were able to do and then look at our budget, its very evident that there is something supernatural going on. I believe, truly, that the Holy Spirit has been working through us and it’s my prayer that He continues to do so in the new year.
But this morning as I was doing my annual office organization (it was embarrassing how messy it got in the midst of my fall travels) and thinking about this past year, I knew I had to write you for I’ve neglected to share so many stories with you from my fall speaking tour.
This fall I visited ten campuses to speak. At each one I met such courageous young, pro-life leaders that it blew me away. I wish you could have been there with me to meet these leaders that you are allowing us to raise up.
And while I have so much hope for our mission to abolish abortion after meeting our Students for Life leaders, I have to tell you that our campuses desperately need prayer as there are so many who are lost.
At my first tour stop at the University of Oklahoma, protestors came and thought when they unrolled their posters that they would deter me from speaking the truth. When they realized that their sneers and boos weren’t working, they left. Only a few protesters stayed for the Q&A session.
| At The College of New Jersey, they tried the same. At the University of Colorado Medical School in Denver, pro-abortion students tried to bully the administration into disinviting me to the campus. Before I spoke, a member of the school administration had to get up to say that I was in fact welcome and remind the medical students that they had to be courteous during my presentation. There, they chose to put up their protest signs in the hallways outside of the lecture room and just wear their Planned Parenthood t-shirts during my speech. But what really bothered me was the questions they threw at me during the Q&A. The fact that these students are medical students at one of the best medical schools in the country, just one or two years away from treating patients, and don’t know when life begins or even admit that the child in the womb is alive scares the life out of me. These are our future doctors! And then at Southern Methodist University and Gonzaga University, there were the girls who listened quietly to my entire presentation and then stood up to challenge and then mock me during the Q&A sessions. I remember one young woman from SMU actually arguing in-front of a room of people that poor people would be better off aborted. I let her rant until another student stood up to say that he was born into a poor family, attended SMU on scholarship, and unequivocally say that no, he would not have been better off dead. At Gonzaga University, the young woman who I let rant the most refused to believe science that the embryo, fetus, baby in the womb is in fact a member of human species. When I tried to ask her questions she kept accusing me of “gaslighting” her. While it’s a trendy millennial term, I don’t think she fully got the definition of it... I have so many stories I could share with you from my fall tour. But I’ll stop here and just say Thank You. Thank you for allowing me to go to campuses to speak to truth, even to those who are too afraid to hear it. Thank you for allowing Students for Life to embolden pro-life young leaders on campuses across the nation who refuse to cave into pressure when they host a “controversial” speaker like me. We have so much more work to do in 2019, so many more hearts and minds to change. Please keep our mission and the students we reach in your daily prayers. And if you haven’t yet done so, please consider making a generous tax-deductible gift today. With our $137,600 End of Year Matching Grant, every dollar I can raise by midnight tomorrow will be automatically doubled! For Life,  Kristan Hawkins President, Students for Life |
