California ProLife Life Leaders
California Prolife Council
A Life Leader is an individual who works within their community to best represent the pro-life position, working in conjunction with National Right to Life, and its state affiliate, the California ProLife Council, a Life Leader realizes that pro-life individuals must effectively function as citizens, right where they are.
A Life Leader:
- has taken the time to learn some of the basic facts and issues surrounding the pro-life cause;
- is not guided solely by the emotion of the issue;
- does not reduce the issue to being a subset of their personal religious convictions;
- is informed about why and how society has historically protected innocent human life; and
- understands the steps necessary to restore that legal protection
- works as a 'representative' in their community, communicating appropriate information for the cause of Life.
To best do this, the Life Leader:
- subscribes to California ProLife News and the e-mail alert system of California ProLife www.californiaprolife.org (this allows timely and important information to be quickly disseminated.
- Subscribes to NRL News in order to understand the bigger National picture.
