About Right to Life of Shelby County
Founded in 1974, Right to Life of Shelby County is 501(c)3 educational and service organization. Membership is open to all who share our desire to promote respect for all human life, and especially for the most vulnerable, the unborn.
Mission Statement
Right to Life of Shelby County is a non-profit, non-sectarian service organization devoted to the belief that all human life is sacred.
We promote respect and legal protection, for all human life, from the moment of conception until natural death. Our educational and awareness programs focus on those practices that involve the direct destruction of innocent human lives: abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide.
We are dedicated to offering humane alternatives to women with difficult or unexpected pregnancies and to supporting mothers and families in fostering an environment that is conducive to the healthy spiritual and physical development of children. Therefore, although we do not discriminate on the basis of family arrangements in our provision of services, we endorse traditional marriage (one man, one woman) and oppose measures that threaten the religious and civil liberties of religious institutions, adoption agencies, pregnancy centers, and other organizations that are essential to the pro-life cause.
