By KELLf GANTT Staff Writer Students for Life is an organization that focuses on educating students about what abortion is and the risks involved in having an abortion. John Griffith, a studio arts senior and vice president of Students for Life, said members believe in the sanctity of life above everything else. The core of their message is young women have options other than abortion, and they want to inform students of the alternatives, he said. "People think that we're closeminded and callous to the whole situation," Griffith said. "They Uiink all we are doing is taking a stance for the unborn child." According to Griffith, being prolife means being concerned for the mother's life as well. He said in that respect. Students for Choice and Students for Life are fighting for the same thing - the protection of the mother. Students for Life has been an organization at USC since 1974.

Because of this, Griffith and the a organizations' president, Rachel a Maw, said they realized the need to s< take a stronger stand against abortion. With the help of pharmacy t( professor Buddy Lingle, the two jt reorganized the group last year. As n a result, Students for Life now has al more than 40 members. One of the most important C aspects of the group are the con- tc tacts and phone numbers it offers tii to students who need help or coun- D seling, Griffith said. w Students for Life also provides sil iniv/i iurnivn 1 rtuuui dtllUli 5|, pertaining to abortion.
