Our Mission
Our Mission is to promote respect for the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death.
Right to Life of Kern County is a pro-life advocacy and educational organization that advocates for life-affirming alternatives to abortion and assisted suicide. By engaging in public education and grassroots lobbying efforts, we inform the public on these issues and urge elected officials to uphold policies that value the sanctity of life. We also promote healing services for anyone injured in heart, mind, and body by participation in such attacks on innocent human life.
Although we work with and enjoy the support of many local churches, we are not affiliated with any denomination or political party.
I had an abortion when I was 21 years old. Without support from my parents, other family members or the child’s father, I was not strong enough to fight for the life of the baby. Having that abortion was the worst decision of my life and afterwards the wave of remorse and self-loathing was overwhelming. My child would have been 40+ years old, I’m still working on the forgiveness part, and that’s when I decided to get involved with Right to Life Kern County (RTLKC). Getting involved with RTLKC has afforded me the opportunity to take training, and hopefully one day, be able to make a difference in another woman's life where my words of encouragement, grace, and faith will help her choose life.
