they have an amazing college outreach program

[Adrestia]

They focus on questioning the reasons that women have abortions.

-One of their fliers has a grown woman with the caption (paraphrased), "Did I deserve the death penalty?" and text which tells that she was conceived during a rape.
-Another one has a grown man in a wheelchair with the caption, "Would you like to say that to my face?" and text which says that his mother was told to abort because he would have birth defects.

In both cases (rape & birth defects) women are often advised to abort. FFL not only asks why, they have examples of people who refused to choose abortion and their subsequent joy.

I think the college outreach is their primary focus. Child care can be so difficult for college students to obtain... so they may feel that they have no other choice.
