Dear Feminist for Life,
Your gifts to FFL have resulted in significant pro-woman, pro-life victories protecting women, girls, and babies, born and unborn, since my last year-end report. This is my thank you.
An impressive list of legislative victories includes our long-called for increased tax credit for parents, protections of teens online, as well as rolling back measures to spread abortion pills and making us pay for surgical abortions performed on the military and their dependents (including teens!)
I’ve had the privilege of presenting “The Feminist Case Against Abortion” to students from Boston College, Bridgewater State, Brown, Colorado College, Cornell, Dartmouth, Fordham, Harvard, George Washington University, Kean University, MIT, Regis, Penn State, Providence, Seton Hall, Southern Connecticut, Southern New Hampshire, St. Mary Immaculate, St. John, Thomas Aquinas, University of Connecticut, University of Maine, Texas A&M, Wellesley, Western New England, and Yale—as well as to college bound audiences from Montrose High School, Classical Conversations Homeschool Students, and Students for Life Catholic Homeschoolers.
In addition, I moderated the first Pregnancy and Parenting Resource Forum at the College of the Holy Cross, MA. And Public Education Coordinator and Editor Joyce McCauley-Benner moderated the 29th Annual Forum at Georgetown University!
Joyce also presented “Victory Over Violence” at the Cardinal O’Connor Conference while Bella Fechter was at the National Pro-Life Summit where she gifted students with free kits! Interns also helped staff our outreach efforts at the Celebrate Life conference this summer in Washington, D.C. And Cynthia Wood presented “Question Abortion: Ask Why?” at the Heartbeat International Conference.
We have provided daily content on FFL social media including our popular pro-life feminist history and Pro-Woman Answers to Pro-Choice QuestionsSM.
Our Women Deserve Better helpsite has grown to 369 articles to help moms address real life challenges by providing sound ideas. Inspirational messages on Girls Deserve Better Instagram and articles by our staff and interns are growing on our girlsdeservebetter.org website.
Every day we work to meet those we serve: mothers and their children and students who will become future leaders in every field, parents, and voters.
We’ve illuminated thinking in our latest issues of The American Feminist magazine, “Expressions” and “Portraits of Motherhood,” The latter extols the benefits of motherhood to women!! I hope you have received your copies.
Thanks to donors, a series of Women Deserve Better billboards have been strategically placed on the roads leading to Planned Parenthood in St. Paul throughout the last year, resulting in over 8 million impressions and giving women a chance to rethink their decision knowing there is help, there is hope.
Thanks to strategic donors like you, we will accelerate efforts in 2026.
Enclosed is our new FFL Refuse to Choose® brochure that we plan to distribute on campus with our Women Deserve Better® and “Voices of Our Feminist Foremothers” brochures—and much more at upcoming student conferences and tabling on campuses. (More about that later!!) Please pass along the one I’ve enclosed for you.
When first wave female feminist doctors learned the amazing way a woman’s body gives life, they became determined to educate other women about this life-giving capacity. They thought who better than women doctors to teach this to other women?
Similarly, who better than Feminists for Life to equip, reach, and teach students of our history to other feminists and the awesome gift of motherhood?
- To that end, FFL Board and Friends will match your year-end gift.
- Your new and increased monthly gifts will be double-matched.
- And corporate matching gift programs could double ALL your gifts from this year!
How many—how far we reach—is up to us. Let’s hasten the day to save mothers and children through resources and support. I thank you in advance for thinking about the joy you bring to mothers and the energy you impart to high school and college students as you make your year-end, new or increased monthly gift.
Because women deserve better,
Serrin M. Foster
President
