Feminists for Life Announces New National Directory of Campus Resources

College-age women are at highest risk for abortion. Too many feel forced to choose between their education or careers and their children.

Since 1972 Feminists for Life has been leading pro-life feminist education, and since 1994 FFL has been leading advocacy of campus resources for pregnant and parenting students.

We are now proud to announce: FFL's new National Directory of Campus Resources for Pregnant and Parenting Students.

Everything that Feminists for Life has previously achieved on college campuses has led to this moment.

We've heard so many heartbreaking stories from women who couldn't find the help they need--often with tragic results. We know that pregnancy and parenting resources are obscure or nonexistent at most schools.

We can make this school year the turning point for those at highest risk of abortion.

FFL's new directory will provide links to essential resources, state by state, school by school. With the National Directory of Campus Resources:

  • Women will know that pregnancy doesn't have to terminate an education--that resources exist to support women and families.
  • Pregnant and parenting students will find help now to stay in school--in some cases by transferring to a more parent-friendly campus.
  • Pro-woman, pro-life, pro-family solutions will go viral--and help FFL highlight model schools.
  • The lack of resources on many campuses will be revealed, and ideally, addressed.
  • Students and alums can spread the word about resources on their campuses--and push for any gaps to be filled.
  • Family-friendly campuses will have a competitive edge--inspiring other campuses to establish or improve their policies and practices.
  • Family-friendly campuses can lead the way, setting the bar higher for employers and other institutions.

We must expand and promote this new online resource as fast as we can. The more complete it is--and the more people know about it--the more impact it can have.

The clock is ticking. We need to get more data into the directory right now. We want all colleges and universities to be represented. Right now, it's just a fraction.

But see what can be done! Check out Minnesota, Iowa, Maryland, and DC, for example.

FFL staff and dedicated volunteers are already gathering more data, using FFL's Pregnancy Resources Survey." We are partnering with Students for Life to complete our survey at 620 campuses where SFL is active. (And, with your support, FFL is offering each of them a kit to help them revolutionize their campuses!) All that data will be fact-checked and uploaded into the National Directory.

We invite you to help this initiative in a variety of ways:

  2. Contribute information to the National Directory of Campus Resources.
    • If you are an alum, student (especially a pregnant or parenting student), faculty member, staff member, or administrator who would like to add or update information about your college or university, please enter the new information in Feminists for Life's Pregnancy Resources Survey and use the comments sections in the survey to include website URLs and other documentation for the new or updated information. A copy of FFL's Pregnancy Resources Survey is also available for student activists to download as they explore resources not yet found on the school's website.
    • Committed volunteers who are passionate about the provision of services to pregnant and parenting students are also needed to help fact-check information provided through FFL's Pregnancy Resources Survey. We want information in the National Directory of Campus Resources to be as accurate as possible, so we are especially calling upon people who enjoy online research. Please email your resume and cover letter to factcheck@feministsforlife.org.
  3. Support our work.

With FFL's new National Directory of Campus Resources, we can change the culture on campus. We can save lives and build futures.

We must be ready when a student at "University X" learns she is pregnant and starts considering her options. Will FFL's National Directory of Campus Resources have the information she needs when she needs it?

Please forward this link to your family and friends, and please share our other resources, including "Raising Kids on a Shoestring."
