Hosting a Pro-Life Speaker?

The Oregon Right to Life Speakers Bureau is comprised of ORTL staff who speak about pro-life topics. Our speakers reached over 1,400 people in 2024 and aim to reach even more in 2025.

The Speakers Bureau offers a range of engaging pro-life presentations, including:

Abortion 101. An introduction to development, the law in Oregon, abortion procedures, and pro-life apologetics. Due to descriptions of abortion procedures, it is recommended for audiences ages 15 and older.
Pro-Life 101. This version of Abortion 101 has been designed for 7th–12th-grade students and has further age-appropriate versions available for both middle and high school students. It does not include abortion procedure descriptions.
Challenging the Narrative. In this presentation, political director Sharolyn Smith discusses abortion messaging in the political world. The audience walks away with pro-life messaging that can be used in both personal as well as political conversations.

*All presentations are customized for the audience and occasion. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Contact makyra@ortl.org or fill out the form below to request another type of presentation.

“Believe it or not, for many people, a pro-life presentation is the first time they hear the truth about abortion. It’s exciting to see more and more opportunities to have an impact in groups small and large around Oregon.”
Lois Anderson, Executive Director
