TESTIMONIALS

STANDUPGIRL

We are one of the few Life-Affirming, Pro-Love websites that “reaches across the aisle” to young people who are not pro-life and would never think about using a pro-life website.

Our goal is to get the users in touch with a local Pregnancy Help Organization that can provide them with a personal circle of support. We also provide free virtual training courses to these young women in crisis that range from pre-birth courses through child-rearing. All of these forms of communication are helping us to fulfill our mission, which is to save the lives of future generations.
