Right To Life of Clinton County

Mission Statement

Educate & promote an awareness of the unborn and their inherent right to life.

How We Accomplish Our Mission

Billboards and Yard Signs

Its so important for people to understand the development of preborn babies! To help spread the word, RTL of Clinton County connected with ProLife Across America. For over 25 years, this nonprofit has made signs and billboards to educate, and offer help, guidance and hope. We have purchased several different sizes throughout the county.

Signature Advertisement

We give the members of our community and Clinton County the chance to show their support for life every 3rd Friday of January. A large pro-life ad is placed in the Wilmington News Journal commemorating the Jan 23, 1973, Roe v Wade decision. The Clinton County Right to Life collects donations through our yearly newsletter and reaching out to local Churches, businesses, and organizations who want to share the pro-life message that babies have a right to live outside the womb.

March Around the Clinton County Courthouse

After having the Signature Ad in the Wilmington News Journal this event is held on the Monday before the National March for Life in Washington D.C. but on a local level from 5 PM – 6 PM. We close in prayer.

The same evening, the Knights of Columbus Assembly #396 hosts a Right to Life Spaghetti Dinner in St. Columbkille Parish Center from 5 PM – 7 PM to raise funds for prolife activities.

Fair Exhibits

We host a prolife exhibit at the Clinton County Fair in July and the Clinton County Corn Festival in September. These exhibits have prolife items to hand out. The booth features banners and the life size fetal models.

Parades

Thanks to Bob Schaad, we had a prolife wagon in the 2021 Corn Festival Parade, Wilmington. We are hoping to participate in more parades in the near future!
