EDUCATIONAL

The educational branch of the pro-life movement seeks to make abortion unthinkable. Their aim is to influence the culture. Pro-lifers operating in this branch try to educate the public to understand that a new human being is created at the moment of fertilization and that killing innocent human beings is wrong. They do so through street activism, presentations, conferences, news and literature, advertising campaigns, etc.

Here are some examples of educational organizations.
