Mission Statement & Statement of Principles

MISSION

The Arizona Life Coalition is a collaboration of organizations dedicated to providing life affirming hope and resources to the women, men and children of Arizona through truthful and loving education, services and public policy. We affirm life by:

1. Providing the public with accurate information on the alternatives to and the effects of abortion;
2. Supporting compassionate services to persons considering or affected by abortion
3. Promoting systematic change that advocates the rights of the unborn and protects persons from the effects of abortion

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

1. We believe in the sanctity of every innocent human life, from conception to natural death, regardless of age, sex, disability, or degree of dependence.
2. We believe that civil government is obligated to acknowledge and safeguard the right to life of preborn human beings and to accord them equal protection of law. Consequently, we cannot support laws which, in the name of “right to choose,” allow the “choice” of taking the innocent human life of another.
3. We are committed to enhancing the total well-being of women and men considering or affected by abortion. We affirm the accessibility of emotional support, counseling, accurate information, competent medical care, and support services in order for women and men to make informed choices. We reject the use of incomplete information from individuals and groups that have a monetary interest in the outcome of a woman’s decision. We are committed to serving women and men in various capacities regardless of the choices they may make.
4. We unequivocally reject the use of violence, vandalism or illegal activity to achieve our goal of preserving, promoting and defending the sanctity of innocent human life.
5. We do not endorse or promote the use of graphic materials without the consent of the person viewing it. Furthermore, we oppose exposing men or women who have not recovered from post-abortion trauma to said materials as well as minors who have not obtained permission from their parents.
6. We respect the diversity of religious, ethical and philosophical belief and opinions, which underlies the pro-life commitment of our associated organizations and their adherents.
