The statement below is in response to a fake mailer that claims that the Central Kentucky Right to Life is endorsing the libertarian candidate because “Mitch McConnell supports abortion.” This could not be further from the truth.

Woke up early to stand for life on our campus! There’s nothing we’d rather do than speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Thanks to all who came out for our first chalking event of the semester!!

Hey everyone!!! (farewell)

Tonight was the final meeting of the semester/election for next year's executive board for the Pro-Life Wildcats!!! Our new team will consist of

President: Samantha Schultz (who I cannot tag so I will ask to tag herself in the comments)
Vice President: (Charlie) Charlotte Hauck
Secretary/Treasurer: Tyler Hall
March for Life Coordinator: TBD

This is a very strong team that will have a lot to jump into right off the bat once the next school begins so I hope all of you will support them, participate with them, and will provide whatever help and resources you can. The March for Life coordinator position still needs to be filled, so if you would like to join an amazing team where you will not just plan one of the biggest events of the year but will have a say in all club events, please consider reaching out!

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve, first as Vice President, and then this year as President, of this club. Some of you know this, some of you do not, but I did not anticipate or plan on becoming President of our organization. As a JD/MHA student here at UK I was already stretched pretty thin between course work, graduate school clubs, and my involvement at Church, so when I started attending the meetings my 2L year (3rd year of grad school between the two degrees) I thought it would just be a good way to occasionally participate in a cause I believed in. When a vacancy on the board occurred our amazing previous President, Sophia Decker, asked me to step into the role of VP. I did what I could to keep up with her amazing vision for the group, and then the rest was history.

This was a difficult year for a great many reasons. We planned a lot of big events, some of which didn't go as we hoped, some went amazingly, and some of which have had to be rescheduled for this upcoming fall. We faced challenges from the University and other sources, but came out stronger at the end of it all and grew our group's presence and involvement in our campus community. We have reached the point where we are hopefully making a big difference in our campus community and I can't wait to see how this takes shape in the future.

This roll has been one of the biggest surprises of my time here in grad school. As I leave it is with a heavy heart that I won't see so many of you again, but also with hope for the future for all of you, for the club, for our country, and most importantly for the unborn.

Thank you for this amazing opportunity and for an amazing year. To all the students, good luck on the rest of your semesters, good luck on your finals, and good luck on your summer experiences. To all those who will be graduating but sticking around for graduate school, please consider being involved in the club. The PLW need graduate and undergraduate students alike to make the biggest difference possible.

Please take care of yourselves during this difficult time and continue to care for those around you. Let us always live out the true meaning of being Pro-Life.

Good Luck and God Bless!
Brenton Craggs

Hey everyone! A couple announcements:

1. The elections for the officers of the Pro-Life Wildcats will occur tonight at 7pm via zoom!!! We have hope all of you will consider attending. If you did not receive an email with the zoom link for tonight please let me know and I will be sure you get a link.

We have 4 spots to fill: President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, and March for Life Coordinator.

Our fantastic Secretary/Treasurer, who stepped up a lot this year and at various points performed the jobs of each position of the executive board, Samantha Schultz, is running for President, and her statement will be posted in the comments below.

Our amazing Vice President, Charlotte Hauck, who has been an invaluable addition to our team, both now and in the future, is running to be re-elected as Vice President after stepping into the role this semester, and her statement will also be in the comments below.

There are other positions available, and of course anyone is welcome to run for the President and VP positions as well. We hope you’ll consider running!

2. Many of you have heard of the film, and many of you saw it with us last spring, but for those who did not get the chance to see it yet, the amazing movie Unplanned is now available to stream for free via Amazon Prime Video. This movie is difficult to watch at times (two times in particular) but is very well done and a truly eye opening experience. We urge all of you to check it out while stuck in quarantine.

Just bringing a little joy to all of you. News on elections for next year’s officers will be coming soon. We hope all of you are staying in, staying healthy, and watching over your loved ones.

Hey everyone.

After working for months to coordinate and plan this, it pains me to announce that we are going to postpone the Pregnancy Resource Forum until the fall semester. With a national state of emergency declared and the University working overtime to handle this crisis, along with the cancelling of in-person classes and the University asking most student org events to be cancelled or rescheduled, we believe this is the best option for the event and for all involved. Our leadership team next year will still plan this event, and thankfully much of the groundwork is planted so our next team will be able to hit the ground running.

We are hoping to have more events this semester, although it is likely not much will occur until April 6th at least. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

We thank you for all of your hard work and support this year. As I prepare to graduate this semester, I would especially like to personally thank all of you for your hard work and support this year. We did not get to do everything that I hoped we would, but what we did get done was only possible with all of your support. Thank you for helping to make my final year of graduate school a memorable one.

- Brenton Craggs, President Pro-Life Wildcats.
