Who We Are
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.
WHAT WE DO
One Day Advocacy Training Session
Right to Life of Kern County offers an intensive one day training class with instruction focusing on how to have educated and respectful conversations with pro-abortion supporters.
Made in His Image – Combined Bible Study and Advocacy Training
Right to Life of Kern County offers a six- week study of what God has to say on the issue of life with common-ground, philosophical, and biological arguments against abortion and related life issues.
Participants who wish to be involved in RTLKC’s campus outreach must complete either the one-day intensive training or the six-week program.
College Campus Outreach
Right to Life of Kern County hosts spring and fall outreaches on the campuses of Bakersfield College and Cal State Bakersfield University, where students are challenged to question what they think they know about abortion and related life issues. Each outreach is scheduled for two days.
Remembering Roe
Remembering Roe is a local event presented by Right to Life of Kern County to remember those lives lost to abortion. Each January we present a cross display to conincide with Sanctity of Life Sunday. We also host a similar cross display in June to remember the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022.
Political Advocacy
Right to Life of Kern County works with a broad coalition of pro-life advocacy partners throughout the state to lobby in support of pro-life legislation and actively oppose pro-abortion bills. RTLKC reaches out to local elected officials and urges them to support life in Washington and Sacramento.
Students for Life Scholarships
In an effort to encourage pro-life advocacy among local youth, each spring Right to Life of Kern County awards Students for Life scholarships to local graduating seniors. Each student candidate must present an essay response to a pro-abortion article. Their response must defend life in a thoughtful and educated manner.
Post Abortive Bible Study
Right to Life of Kern County offers a Post Abortive Bible Study. The Bible study is confidential and designed to address the emotional and spiritual scars left from a past abortion experience. Whether your experience was two years ago or 20 years ago we want to help you find forgiveness and healing. Please contact us for more information. 661-864-7508.
