StandUpGirl exists to give hope and courage to young women about unexpected pregnancy, hope that life doesn't end with pregnancy and courage to do what is right in letting the child live.  Bound up in that message is the idea that young women are, in fact, strong enough to carry a child to term without ending their life in any real way.  A detour or an unexpected jolt of reality, certainly, but pregnancy is not necessarily an ending of dreams but an alteration.  This message is carried in both language and art throughout the site's constantly evolving content.

Standupgirl is an important part of the overall movement to end abortion, aimed particularly at young women between 12 and 24 years old. This amazing website now reaches over 200,000 young women each month - over 2 million girls each year. Most of our guests take in more than 15 minutes of information per visit through advice from other young women around the world, fetal development photography and beautiful custom illustrations, and remarkable videos. In addition, the popular Forum feature connects young women from all over the world who share their stories of hope and courage.

Perhaps the most important and popular readings on the website are the real-life stories of girls facing their own crisis pregnancies. Our Standupgirl team provides personal and individual guidance and concern to help them make a choice that both they and their baby can live with, the whole episode being shared with all visitors if the young woman allows us to post her story... and many do.

Standupgirl.com is widely used in classrooms from Jr High through College around the country to educate young people about abortion and teen pregnancy. It regularly ranks as one of the top five abortion-related websites in the world, and is usually number one in teen pregnancy. Since we began making this website visible through advertising the rate of both teen pregnancy and teen abortion has dropped dramatically, much faster than the overall decline in abortion. It is bringing hope and courage to young women everywhere, hope that new life is worth living and the courage to do the right thing.

Standupgirl.com has been the leading pro-life website in the entire world for several years. Its success has been nothing short of miraculous. Recently, Planned Parenthood began to advertise in direct competition with Standupgirl.com, making our visibility on the Internet more important than ever.

Standupgirl.com primarily raises funds for its Google advertising by hosting banquets in cities including Astoria, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Medford, Portland, and Salem. 

The evening features one of our nine Standupgirls who tells guests about her work and the wonderful results the site brings. The evenings are a joyful event, with encouraging news about lives being saved and hearts being changed. If you are interested in attending or hosting an event in your city, please call the Oregon Right to Life office, at 503-463-8563.
