Tennessee Right to Life - About Us (United Against Abortion, Infanticide, Euthanasia, Human Cloning and Fetal Tissue Research.)

Incorporated in 1975, Tennessee Right to Life is the state’s oldest and largest pro-life advocacy organization. We are a non-profit, non-sectarian, volunteer-based organization affiliated with the National Right to Life Committee in Washington, D.C. and made up of local county chapters throughout Tennessee.

Tennessee Right to Life exists to promote public respect for the dignity of every human life especially those threatened by abortion, infanticide, partial-birth abortion, assisted suicide, or euthanasia. TRL advocates the protection of human life without regard to age, handicap, condition or social position.

Tennessee Right to Life is committed to effectively advocating the protection of human life through educational outreach, passage of protective legislation and the development of an informed, active grassroots movement statewide. Additionally, members of Tennessee Right to Life assist in providing direct and tangible resources to women and families facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies.

Members of Tennessee Right to Life represent a broad cross section of Tennessee’s growing population and include persons of diverse religious, ethnic, economic and political backgrounds working together to promote and restore societal respect for all human life.

WITH THIS IN MIND WE SEEK TO

EDUCATE through the presentation of detailed and factual information about fetal development, fetal experimentation, fetal pain, abortion, alternatives to abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and related issues, upon which individuals and the general public may make informed decisions about these actions which deny human dignity.

ORGANIZE and identify the pro-life population of the state into an effective force.

LEGISLATE ultimately a Human Life Amendment to the United States Constitution which will make possible legal protection for all human beings. We are especially mindful of the unborn, the aged, the impoverished, the impaired, the incompetent, and all those otherwise weak, disadvantaged or defenseless.

HELP BUILD a caring, compassionate society that will recognize the real problems and offer positive alternatives and support to the distressed and their families.
