Our mission is to create a just society that has the utmost respect for all human life from fertilisation. We live this out by providing positive alternatives to abortion through support for women and families and education for young people. Thanks for being a part of this.

Pregnancy tests requested
Every month we help women as they face the possibility that they might be pregnant. By offering free pregnancy tests, we are accompanying women from the very first moment of their pregnancy journey. In August, 150 women a day asked us for a free pregnancy test.
People texting for help
Here's how many people texted us for emotional support about pregnancy in August 2018, August 2019, and August 2020.
Life Matters® outreach
