- National Pro-Life Religious Council
-
The National Pro-Life Religious Council (NPRC) is an educational 501(c)3 corporation representing numerous Christian pro-life denominations and organizations. Its goal is to promote the view that Christianity is a pro-life faith. The organization was started in order to refute the claims of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC), and other pro-choice Christian organizations, such as Catholics for Choice. The NPRC seeks to educate Christians on the biblical basis of the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Its current president is Father Frank Pavone, who is also the National Director of Priests for Life, and its board meets quarterly in Washington, DC. The NPRC also sponsors educational conferences and funds the publication of pro-life books which promote the Christian pro-life message. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter called "Uniting for Life" which is sent to its contributing members on a quarterly basis.
