The Powhatan Chapter of the Virginia Society for Human Life was chartered in 2004 with the intention of serving Powhatan, Goochland, Amelia and Cumberland. We are a non-profit organization that addresses the pro-life issues surrounding abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and stem cell research. Our purpose is to promote the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death through education, legislation, and community outreach.

This Chapter was founded on the belief that human life, at every stage of development, is sacred and deserves respect and legal protection. The members of this organization are united by a common concern for the unborn, the elderly, and the disabled. We believe that the unborn child is uniquely human from the moment of conception, and that the unborn child has an inalienable right to life, which must be legally protected

The Powhatan Chapter of the Virginia Society for Human Life strives to protect the rights of the unborn, the elderly, the mentally handicapped, the disabled and the terminally ill. We believe that the unborn child is uniquely human from the moment of conception, and that the unborn child has an inalienable right to life, which should be legally protected. We believe that the mother and family that finds themselves in an unplanned or crises pregnancy deserve options that choose life, including compassion and support.
