Young men flocking to pro-life mov’t in ‘historic numbers’ as Students for Life, TPUSA launch campus free-speech series

October 22, 2026

A national pro-life advocacy group has teamed up with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to launch a partnered series of campus free-speech events to challenge long-held claims about modern feminism and abortion.

The Christian Post reports the eight-campus tour is led by Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins and invites students to debate whether feminism and pro-abortion “reproductive rights” have harmed women more than they have helped them.

Titled “Feminists Lied: Prove Me Wrong,” the series focuses on arguing that decades of messaging about career success, independence and abortion as the price of equality have left many women unfulfilled.

Hawkins described the organization’s dual mission, telling the Christian Post, “It’s about having conversations and dialogue on college campuses. We know this is where the abortion industry targets for their predatory business. This is where we know women are not only choosing abortion, but we know this is where minds are being made up on the issue of abortion.”

The series, which launched on Tuesday, encourages audience members to share their viewpoints on some of life’s biggest questions, including abortion, sexuality and feminism, which, Hawkins said, in its contemporary form, has failed to materialize the promises of earlier movements.

According to the Christian Post, the series sticks to the template established by slain TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10, 2025, during his own “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University.

Hawkins summarized the core challenge of the tour, stating: “If men do not have to sacrifice their children in order to succeed, why should women? A society that values women should treat motherhood as an essential contribution worthy of honor, not a liability. Students deserve to hear that case, and we are going to make it on their campuses.”
