Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood Shooting
Human Life Alliance condemns violence of any kind.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims of the Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting. We will continue to pray for the safety of all lives, born and preborn.
March for Life Theme 2016
One common misconception about pro-lifers, is that they only care about the preborn child. The national March for Life 2016 theme is Pro-Life Pro- Woman Go Hand-In-Hand. This theme encapsulates what being pro-life is really about.
"The truth is that life is the empowering choice for women. It's best for women and families facing unplanned pregnancies, and it's best for developing female babies in the womb. Abortion harms women, and affects our society as a whole, in so many ways."
You can learn more about the March for Life 2016 here.
Free resources for College Pro-Life Groups
Do you know a college student that could use free resources for their pro-life group? HLA's latest campus publication UNFAIR! has been successful this fall.
Through personal stories, accurate facts, and shocking statistics UNFAIR!encourages young people to think about how abortion rhetoric is used in our culture. It is perfect for tabling, handing out on campus, sliding under doors in college dorms, etc.
A printed copy of HLA's campus publication is important for young people to read despite this digital age. Science tells us that reading on paper versus screens is critical for important information. Reading on paper can allow for more in-depth reading, sustained attention and processing information.
Along with free publications, students can receive free stickers of our popular graphic above. Students can receive their materials by filling out the form here.

Committee Findings from
hearing with Cecile Richards,
President of Planned
Parenthood
- Planned Parenthood is self-sustaining.
- In their 2013-2014 annual report, a
revenue of 1.3 billion dollars was reported.
- They have an endowment of more than
$100 million
- Planned Parenthood spends money on frivolous things.
- Tax returns show that Planned
Parenthood books first class when traveling.
- Tax returns show that they spent
$622,706 on blowout parties in 2012 and 2013, that featured Hollywood

- Planned Parenthood has transferred
millions of dollars to its lobbying arm, Planned Parenthood Action Fund,
each year.
- Tax returns indicate that Planned
Parenthood affiliates share employees, facilities, equipment, mailing
lists and other assets with 501(c)(4) organizations.
- Planned Parenthood's "Three Percent" claim in
false.
- According to Cecile Richards'
testimony, Planned Parenthood serves 2.7 million individuals per year
(which is not even 1% of the U.S. population). In 2014 their annual
report states that they performed 327,653 abortions. This would be at
least 12 percent of their services.
- Planned Parenthood is not a primary provider of
mammograms.
- Committee staff found that 2 of the
667 health centers operated by Planned Parenthood were on FDA's list of
certified mammography centers.
- Numerous Alternatives to Planned Parenthood Exist
- There are more than 13,000 publicly
supported alternatives to health care in the U.S. which have served
almost 22 million patients in 2013-over eight times the amount of Planned
Parenthood.
- A Kaiser survey found that only 5% of Medicaid-enrolled women aged 15-44 receiving gynecological exams chose to go to Planned Parenthood. 57% went to a private physician's office, 13% went to a community health center or public clinic and 5% went to a school-based, urgent care or walk-in facility.
