Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Project Love
Project Love is the lifesaving grant program of Illinois Right to Life. It allows pregnant women to choose life and enables young families to parent confidently by alleviating immediate financial crises. Working with pregnancy resource centers, the program provides payment directly to landlords, utility companies, and other legitimate creditors. Project Love was founded in 1996 by the late Mary Bliss out of her love and concern for pregnant women in difficult situations. Since its inception, the program has gifted over $500,000 in grants to support pregnant women and young families.
Life Chat Podcast
Life Chat is Illinois Right to Life’s podcast, which enables the organization to reach national and international audiences with the truth about life-related topics. Previous guests include prominent members of the pro-life movement such as Dennis Prager, Abby Johnson, and Clarke Forsythe. Each episode aims to educate and inspire the pro-life base.
WhenDoesLifeBegin.org
WhenDoesLifeBegin.org houses the largest known database of sources on the starting point of a human’s life. Hundreds of scientific, legal, and other sources affirm the humanity of the preborn by recognizing fertilization as the earliest point in human development at which an organism is first classified as a human and a member of the Homo sapiens species. The sources include medical textbooks, biology textbooks, legal cases, legislation, and quotes from major publications, including quotes from representatives of both sides of the abortion debate that show it is widely known that human zygotes, human embryos, and human fetuses are biological humans.
The Ground Zero Tour
Launched in 2019, the Ground Zero Tour (formerly known as the Pro-Life Training Tour) takes the educational messaging of Illinois Right to Life directly to communities across Illinois. At tour events, attendees and pro-life citizens are taught how to raise awareness of the life issues in their communities through grassroots action, community engagement, and more. Through the Ground Zero Tour, Illinois Right to Life has equipped pro-life citizens across the state—at dozens of stops from Chicago to Springfield—to help build a culture of life in their communities.
Pregnancy Help Finder
Through the Pregnancy Help Finder program, Illinois Right to Life directly supports both women in crisis pregnancies and the work of pregnancy resource centers in Illinois. The program’s goal is to reduce the number of abortions that take place in Illinois, each year, by helping pregnant women find their nearest life-saving pregnancy resource centers, as well as to provide them with information about abortion pill reversal and the realities of abortion. The program’s website, PregnancyHelpFinder.com, is our main method for reaching pregnant women in dire need of support.
