The Polish Association for the Protection of Human Life

Our aim is to bring to the public the most complete and accurate information about the facts of human life in order to protect the unborn children and their mothers from the pain and devastation of abortion. We focus on educating Polish pro-lifers how to defend human life from the conception till natural death. The statute aims are realized in publishing and lobbing.

Lobbing

The President of The Polish Association for the Protection of Human Life has regular lectures in local radio broadcasting stations concerning these issues. The Association has organized press conferences, panel discussions, lectures and seminaries promoting the respect for human life from the beginning till natural death. Specialists from different countries have taken part in them. The Polish Association for the Protection of Human Life has prepared 50 000 of posters, informing about the beginning of life, development of a baby before the birth and the pregnancy hygiene. It has delivered them to hospitals, surgeries and schools.
