aboutus

This mission is based upon the following core beliefs:
1. That human life, at every stage of development, is sacred and deserves respect and legal protection.
2. That the unborn child is uniquely human from the moment of conception and therefore has an unalienable right to life
3. That the mother and family who find themselves in an unplanned or crisis pregnancy deserve options that enable them to choose life.
4. We can create an “Abortion Free Mindset” in the Miami Valley.

About Dayton Right to Life

DRTL is founded on the belief that human life, at every stage of development, is sacred and deserves respect and legal protection. The members of this organization are united by a common concern for the sanctity of human life and the welfare of the mother. We oppose the use of medical science for any deliberate destruction of human life from the moment of conception until natural death.

Dayton Right to Life strives to protect the rights of the unborn, the elderly, the mentally handicapped, the disabled and the terminally ill. We believe that the unborn child is uniquely human from the moment of conception and therefore, has an unalienable right to life which should be legally protected. We believe that the mother and family who fi nd themselves in an unplanned or crisis pregnancy deserve options that enable them to choose life.
