Who we are....

We are a non-profit, non-sectarian, non-partisan organization composed of grassroots people in the Holland area. We are an affiliate of Right to Life of Michigan.

We come together to restore legal protection to those members of our human family who are threatened by abortion, infanticide, or euthanasia. Diverse though we are, we hold one common belief: that every human being has an inalienable right to life, a life that is precious and must be protected.

When we began....

Right to Life of Holland Area was formed in August of 1972 when Proposal B, a referendum proposing abortion on demand, was brought before voters of Michigan and turned down by 62%. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court struck down the abortion laws of all fifty states. Their action made abortion on demand, at virtually every stage of pregnancy, legal throughout our country. After this ruling our local organization regrouped.
