Voice For Life Today
Age and death have thinned the ranks to a national membership of 30,000 (as at September, 2003).
In 2004, the SPUC executive voted to change their name to "Voice for Life" so that they could speak out against euthanasia, research using embryonic stem cells, and cloning.
In recent years, new youth-orientated pro-life groups have emerged. Their focus is on university campuses and social networking using Facebook.
Voice for Life collaborates youth-based pro-life groups on workshops and outreaches. The new emphasis is disseminating online information through the their website and social networking.
The current President of Voice for Life is Bernard Moran.

Famous quotes containing the words voice, life and/or today:
““Maman”, said Annaïse, her voice strangely weak. “Here is the water.”
A thin blade of silver came forward in the plain and the peasants ran alongside it, crying and singing.

“Oh, Manuel, Manuel, why are you dead?” moaned Délira.

She took the old woman’s hand and pressed gently against her belly where new life stirred.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“What life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools
To dandle fools:
The rural parts are turned into a den
Of savage men:
And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“We do not know today whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered, that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
