"Here's the point: if we ever hope to eradicate abortion, we must first eradicate the abortion mentality.
In the name of the Lord of life, we must use every resource at our disposal to convince fellow citizens of the intrinsic value
of each and every member of our human family."
~ Barbara Listing, President, Right to Life Michigan

It's not just a county tragedy, or a state tragedy, or a national tragedy, it is a world-wide tragedy!

A Measurement of Success
By Right to Life of Michigan | February 2022
Right to Life of Michigan has passed more significant pro-life legislation than any other state. Despite some major disappointments along the way, we continue to make more endorsements and win more races than anyone else involved in Michigan politics. In the late 1980's, there were 72 abortion clinics operating at full tilt in Michigan. Today, there are only 26 left. Together, we have closed 46 abortion clinics! We have successfully defunded Planned Parenthood at the state level in 2015. In their heyday, there were 36 Planned Parenthood locations in Michigan. Today there are only 14 left. Since 1990, minor abortions--teen abortions--are down by 81%. Overall, abortions performed are down by close to 40% since 1987. Together, we have compiled the very finest pro-life track record in the entire country. We estimate the saving of a minimum of 300,000 children!
But as you well know, our work is far from complete. In Michigan, last year alone, 29,669 children perished at the hands of the ruthless abortion industry. Regardless of past results, no matter how stellar they are, we cannot rest on our laurels! Will we measure up? You decide.
