- Who Are We ? -

Campaign Life Coalition is a Canadian national pro-life organization working at all levels of government to secure full legal protection for all human beings from conception to natural death. We defend the sanctity of life against threats posed by abortion, euthanasia, doctor-assisted suicide, eugenics, population control, and reproductive and genetic technologies.

How Are We Organized?

We are a grassroots movement composed of people from many faiths and all walks of life. We are a non-profit organization which depends on volunteers and the generosity of its supporters as we receive no government funding.

The national office acts as a link between provincial groups and strengthens the pro-life effort by co-ordinating strategies.

The Public Affairs Office is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

What Do We Do?

- We support all pro-life initiatives designed to change public opinion in favour of the sacredness of life.
- We produce and distribute monthly newsletters.
- We support crisis pregnancy centres which provide help to pregnant women.
- We support pro-life actions such as Life Chain, pickets, demonstrations, and Show The Truth.
- We lobby for life and family at United Nations international conferences, and inform Canadian politicians and the general public about developments at these conferences.
- We work with young people in supporting pro-life youth by educating them, informing them and encouraging and promoting their pro-life activities.

How We Specialize In Political Activity

- Lobbying politicians in our federal capital, Ottawa, and provincial capitals and constituency offices.
- Working to educate politicians not yet committed to the pro-life cause.
- Supporting politicians who speak up for the unborn, the elderly, and the vulnerable in our society.
- Preparing and presenting briefs to Parliament and provincial legislatures.
- Helping pro-lifers within political parties to move their party towards a pro-life platform.
- Encouraging pro-life supporters to run for municipal office, school boards, and higher public office.
- Working at the provincial and federal levels to stop public funding of abortion, both in Canada and by Canadian agencies in the developing countries.

Election Campaign Activities

- Working within each party to nominate pro-life candidates who share our values.
- Identifying candidates who are pro-life and advertising their names as pro-life supporters.
- Mobilizing supporters across the country to help pro-life candidates. - Leafleting door-to-door, canvassing, phoning - especially in swing ridings.

How Will Pro-life Efforts Succeed?

Respect for human life will be restored only through a four-fold campaign:
1. Support for Pregnant Women - Both mother and baby need community support.
2. Influencing Public Opinion - The public needs to know the facts about abortion and its ramifications. People should be educated about the development of the unborn child and the nature of euthanasia. They should be informed about programs being pushed by the United Nations that are dangerous to life and family.
3. Political Action - By giving dignity and value to every person, we hope to change the minds and hearts of people, as we work to encourage our elected officials to restore full legal protection for all human life.
4. Spiritual Action - The attacks against life and family are real and the culture of death is heavily entrenched in our institutions. With this in mind, we encourage prayer and reliance upon God, which is so essential in our pro-life work.
