Council for Life is motivated by Christ-like love and responsive compassion. We are committed to raising public awareness of the complex issues that surround unplanned pregnancies and providing financial support to agencies that share our mission. We celebrate Life in all we do.
Since 2001, Council for Life has grown to over 2,000 members and raised more than $12 million for life-affirming causes. Council for Life provides a nexus between resources and needs as they relate to unplanned pregnancies. We have funded over 70 nonprofit agencies that benefit women, men and youth through pregnancy resource centers, adoption and foster care, maternity homes, youth mentoring, parenting and life skills education, post-abortion counseling, sexual risk avoidance and targeted media outreach campaigns.
During Council for Life’s Spring Neighborhood Outreach event, a panel of experts delved into the current state of unplanned pregnancies, with a particular emphasis on teenagers, and explored how the availability and use of chemical abortion pills are rapidly reshaping the reality of abortion practices.
2022 Council for Life Celebrating Life Luncheon Honorary Chairs Norma Hunt and Tavia and Clark Hunt share why they are long time supporters of Council for Life and helping those facing unplanned pregnancies.

For weeks the fight to remove the abortion pill from the market has rotated in and out of the courts. The abortion pill accounts for 54% of abortions and the removal would have a significant impact on the unborn and their mothers.
On May 17th, the Fifth Circuit heard two-hour oral arguments from attorneys for both sides in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Check out our latest article to read the highlights from the hearing: https://councilforlife.org/news-profile/scotus-sent-abortion-pill-case-back-to-fifth-circuit/

During our recent Spring Neighborhood Outreach event, a panel of experts delved into the current state of unplanned pregnancies, with a particular emphasis on Dallas teens, and explored how the availability and use of chemical abortion pills are rapidly reshaping the reality of abortion practices.
It was an incredibly eye-opening discussion for all.

We’d like to introduce you to another member of our board who is dedicated to protecting the sanctity of life and being a voice for the voiceless.
Meet our Founder Emeritus, Ann Carruth.
In 2001, the Lord called Ann and ten other Christian women, who wanted to address the issue of abortion from a compassionate, apolitical viewpoint, by forming a unique, pro-life organization, which became Council for Life. Ann served as the first Celebrating Life Luncheon Chair and President-Elect in 2002, President in 2003, and currently presides as Founder Emeritus. Her utmost desire for the past twenty-one years has been to cultivate a conversation around this sensitive topic that would reflect biblical truth and God’s mercy and love. Thereby, our community would be equipped and educated about the complex issues surrounding unplanned pregnancies and many mothers and babies would be saved.
Our Creator’s faithfulness and abundant grace have allowed Council for Life to flourish far beyond the founders’ vision. This lifesaving work which has eternal value has attracted a myriad of followers who have found friendship, healing, joy, and purpose in ministering for the Lord together.
Ann’s greatest blessings are her husband, David; their son, Jordan; daughter, Lane, and her husband, Robbie; and her grandchildren, Peyton and Hudson.
Thank you, Ann, for being one of the FIRST to speak and stand for life!
