About Student LifeNet

'Student LifeNet is a national coalition of pro-life students, working together to protect and defend human life from the moment of conception until natural death.'

Our mission is to be an energetic, campaigning national network, at the forefront of student politics, which unites students and drives forward high-profile, imaginative, and persuasive campaigns, generating democratic, intellectually-honest and informed public debate, in order to bring about a society where 'pro-life' is the dominant viewpoint and where the desire or pressure to destroy human life is unthinkable.

Student LifeNet campaigns on matters which centre around a 'pro-life' philosophy. This covers a range of issues including: abortion, abortifacients, assisted suicide and euthanasia, human cloning, research on human embryos and unborn babies, the welfare of pregnant women and mothers and the threat posed to the embryo by reproductive technologies (e.g. IVF & sex selection).

Student LifeNet also has an interest in closely related topics such as disability rights, demographics, tackling racial discrimination, father's rights and women's rights and welfare.

With our mission statement in mind, Student LifeNet has four ultimate goals:

1. To help secure the right to life of all and make the 'pro-life' philosophy the dominant viewpoint

2. To unite all students in opposition to the destruction of human life

3. To ensure there is a pro-life society/group in every university and secondary school in the United Kingdom

4. To ensure there is real help and support for pregnant students.

- To improve welfare support for pregnant and parenting students

- To give stability and continuity to the student pro-life movement by ensuring that pro-life groups survive students moving on

- To give advice on setting up pro-life societies/groups within universities and secondary schools.

- To develop our website so that it becomes a central student resource.

- To help in the organisation of events and campaigns.

- To protect the right of pro-life students to be heard. In order to improve maternity rights for students, freedom of speech is vital; discussion must not be stifled by a prejudiced minority.

- To create a supportive student network to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences

- To come up with imaginative ways to convey a positive pro-life message

- To campaign for, and to express our opinion on legislation and judicial decisions.

- End the funding of abortion by schools, universities and other student groups.

- To foster leadership, strategic thinking, specialist academic and campaigning skills.

- To work with other respectable organisations with similar aims and ensure that pro-life activism does not end at university.
