“Texas Alliance for Life is a nonprofit organization made up of people … committed to protecting the fundamental right to life of all innocent human beings and to promoting respect for their value and dignity from the moment of conception until natural death. We therefore oppose the advocacy and practice of abortion (except to preserve the mother’s life), infanticide, euthanasia, and all forms of assisted suicide.” No religious requirements for membership, which is free. The group does raise funds from volunteers and offers opportunities for action. There are occasional mailings and emails full of information and ways to contact your State and Federal legislators about action items. (Disclaimer: Beverly Nuckols is on the Board of Directors of this organization.) |

I will start with prolife groups whose purpose is to protect all human life from being intentionally killed. Later, I’ll add groups that don’t necessarily agree with that principle. Another section soon to come is a list of professional organizations, non profit organizations and government resources and opportunities to make a difference within these structures. |
