Mission Statement
The ORTL Education Foundation, in an effort to promote and defend the value and dignity of human life at all stages from conception to natural death, is committed to informing the public about abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, and infanticide in order to end the destruction of human life and offer more positive, life-preserving options. This is done through our extensive educational programs.
