Louisiana and New Orleans Right to Life have been lighting the way to a more pro-life Louisiana since 1970!
Thanks to the commitment of decades of pro-life volunteers and activists, Louisiana is protecting babies from the brutality of abortion!
Unfortunately, dangerous and unlawful abortion pills-by-mail still plague our city and state. This regimen has a complication rate 4x higher than a surgical abortion procedure. We also know, while over 63% of Louisianans are pro-life, at least 75% of New Orleans residents support legal abortion.
New Orleans has a lot of opportunity for growth to help every abortion-vulnerable mother, educate our city, especially our youth, with the truth about abortion, advocate for pro-life policy, and so much more!
Take a look at just a few of the things we do to build more pro-life support in the City of New Orleans!
Pro-Life Presentation at Brother Martin High School
We work to reach our high school & college students with pro-life education!
Our New Orleans Youth Programs Director, Ashley Gilliam (ashley@prolifegala-com.prolifelouisiana.org), works on high school and college campuses engaging our youth & young adults to be pro-life leaders! You can help us by connecting Ashley with teachers and students you know so that she can reach even more students through pro-life presentations!
You can also help us promote our PULSE Pro-Life Youth Retreat, a day of pro-life education and inspiration specifically designed for high school and college students!

2024 New Orleans Pro-Life Oratory Contest Winner from Jesuit High School
“If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.” These words were said by Abraham Lincoln to highlight the self-evident evil of slavery. We too recognize that a threat to human life anywhere is a threat to human life everywhere.
This contest gives students the opportunity to express this truth through a pro-life ovation, to utilize and share their unique creativity and perspective, and to expand their knowledge of life issues. Contact New Orleans Youth Programs Director Ashley Gilliam at Ashley@prolifegala-com.prolifelouisiana.org or 504.754.8807 to find out more information!
