Who we are / What we do

Incorporated in 1975, Tennessee Right to Life, Inc., (TRL) is the state’s oldest and largest pro-life advocacy organization.

We are a non-profit, 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 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, disability, 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.

The ultimate goal of Tennessee Right to Life is the passage and ratification of a Human Life Amendment to the United States Constitution. Our work will end when life is legally protected from conception until natural death.
