Student LifeNet

Student LifeNet is a coalition of pro-life students located throughout the United Kingdom.

History
Student LifeNet was formed in 1999 by a group of pro-life students who sought to find practical pro-life solutions to crisis pregnancies in the student community. They also aimed to provide a national pro-life students organisation to aid the pro-life cause. A major inspiration for Student LifeNet was the American pro-life group Feminists for Life.

Their first major campaign was launched in October 1999. It celebrated the birth of the six billionth human being, which was declared by the United Nations to have occurred on 12 October, 1999. Student LifeNet's activities included challenging pro-choice organizations like Planned Parenthood and Population Concern; Student LifeNet also organised a protest outside parliament in 2001 against the Government's initiatives concerning human cloning.

Sarah Macken was the first director of Student LifeNet, succeeded by Patrick Leahy in 2003. The current director, Michael Down, started his term in 2006.

Today
Student LifeNet now produces pro-Life literature, and campaigns frequently on and off University campuses. Their goals are:


 * 1) To help secure the right to life of all and make the pro-life philosophy the dominant viewpoint.
 * 2) To unite all students in opposition to the destruction of human life.
 * 3) To ensure there is a pro-life society/group in every university and secondary school in the United Kingdom.
 * 4) To ensure there is real help and support for pregnant students.
