Pro-Life Students Connect with the World Wide Web; National College Students for Life Launches Web Site.

College students jumped on the Internet bandwagon early. Since the introduction of the Internet to the public en masse, students have used it daily to e-mail distant friends and family and to research homework assignments. For many, "surfing the web" is also an extracurricular hobby, and for many others, it is a useful tool to enhance their campus activities.

National Right to Life's web site, www.nrlc.org, has long been an invaluable resource for students writing papers or making presentations in support of the pro-life viewpoint. And many students have sought out NRLC's advice on ways to advance the right to life cause on their campuses.

Thus, it only makes sense to combine college students' almost hourly use of the web with access to information from National Right to Life. Hence National College Students for Life (NCSL), the college outreach of NRLC, is now on the web with information and resources for students and, more specifically, for "Students for Life" groups.

To visit NCSL's newly launched website, go to www.nrlc.org and click on the NCSL link in the left margin. Accessing the website from a separate domain is also in the works.

On the site, students can find information on all aspects of the abortion debate. Previous issues of The Vanguard, the e-newsletter of NCSL, are available and full of successful ideas from campus right-to-life groups. Students can download fact sheets and ads that can be reproduced to distribute on campus. They can also sign up for legislative updates and subscribe to NRL News at a reduced student rate to keep them informed.

In the weeks to come, a revised edition of the College Starter Manual will also be available to students who visit the web site. And as they are developed, more programs and ideas will constantly be added to the web site to make sure it reflects the creativity and energy of the students who make up the college right-to-life movement.
