Life Matters Budget

FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)

We will attempt to educate the university community on the value of human life in all matters and all situations. We exist to promote a consistent-life ethic which believes in the dignity of all humanity. As such, we are against abortion, unjust war, embryonic stem cell research, abortifacients, capital punishment, euthanasia, human trafficking, the sex trade, poverty, and any action which degrades the dignity of the human being. We exist to not only bring awareness to these issues in our campus community, but to help eradicate them in the community at large.
