Welcome to Flint Area Right to Life and Genesee County Black Americans for Life. You are visiting the website of one of the busiest pro-life organizations in the Nation.

We are located in Genesee County, Michigan which ranks fifth in our state for abortions. Our organization was formed in 1974, the year after the United States Supreme Court in the Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs Bolton cases legalized abortion in America for all nine months of a pregnancy. Those rulings have resulted in the loss of 50 million American citizens from abortion - 14 million of those aborted unborn children were African Americans.

Our organization works hard to share the message of life by offering alternatives to men and women contemplating abortion such as the loving option of adoption.

According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, abortions in our community have declined continuously for the past five years. We attribute that decline to all of the billboards we have put up, the pro-life radio ads running in our community and the numerous outreach activities that we do in our schools, churches and at civic events.

Please contact us to see how you can be a part of the pro-life ministry in our area.
