Springfield Right to Life

Springfield Right to Life is an educational and charitable, not-for-profit corporation which was founded in 1971 by a group of concerned local citizens.

Our basic premise is the belief that all human life from conception to natural death has inherent dignity and therefore is entitled to protection. We are a politically non-partisan, religiously interdenominational, grassroots organization, wholly financed through individual contributions and our own fundraising efforts. Contributions to Springfield Right to Life are tax deductible.

Life Center:

In June of 1986, the Life Center was opened at 316 E. Monroe Street. Within easy walking distance of the Illinois State Capitol building in Springfield, the Life Center is a viable and highly visible downtown presence. The Life Center is open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
