Students for Life of America

Students for Life of America (SFLA), also known as simply Students for Life (SFL), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, pro-life organization that has formed groups of high school and college students across the country. Currently, there are over 2,000 SFL student groups across the nation. Since 2006, more than 160,000 anti-abortion activists have completed SFLA training. SFLA spokesperson Kristi Hamrick is cited as opposing prosecution of women who self-abort. President Kristan Hawkins is on record as opposing exceptions for rape and incest when banning abortion although there remains a debate by pro-life proponents over rape and incest exceptions. SFLA has faced many legal issues resolved in its favor since its inception, notably with Boise State University and with two undergraduate students attending Yale University, in the last decade. In 2022, after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, SFLA remains an active organization.
