Events
Please help support Right to Life of Adams County by attending and participating in our events!
Annual Respect Life Poster/Essay Contest
Theme: Be KIND - Be Pro-Life
Poster Contest for Grades 3-8
Essay Contest for Grades 7-8
Right to Life of Adams County is sponsoring its 42nd annual poster contest and its 31st annual essay contest! Our purpose remains the same as in past years—to encourage the development of pro-life values in our youth. These contests provide you a convenient opportunity to discuss the sanctity of life issues with your students. A short period of time spent on these issues each year has long-lasting results. Certainly, each child who submits a poster or essay has taken time to thoughtfully consider respect-for-life issues. Each succeeding year of participation strengthens the students’ pro-life convictions, readying them to combat the culture of death in contemporary society. Hopefully, all will gain valuable insights from this resource.
For more info on how your school or church can participate, please call or text Jane Haas at 217-257-0533.

PLEASE join us for Quincy's National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children memorial service.
National Day of Remembrance 2025 Flyer
On Saturday, September 12, pro-life Americans throughout the U.S. will gather at memorial sites dedicated in honor of aborted babies and at their gravesites, for the 14th annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children.
Together, during the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, let us remember the victims of abortion and pray for a final end to this injustice in our land. Solemn vigils were held at 225 locations in the U.S. in 2024 to commemorate the more than 65 million children who have lost their lives to legal abortion since 1973, and to remind our society of the humanity of the unborn child.
Please bring a lawn chair.

Life Chain
October 4th, 2026 | 2:30 pm | Between 14th & 18th Broadway
Please join with other area pro-life supporters in peaceful public witness as we stand for 60 minutes praying for our nation and for an end to abortion.
Pick up your sign at the corner of 16th and Broadway between 2:00 and 2:30 pm. Please park on 16th Street or Vermont. We ask that you position yourselves two arm’s lengths apart along the South Side of Broadway Between 14th and 18th Streets Do not stand in groups Bring a lawn chair only if unable to stand. This event is an opportunity to stand for life and is held in more than 1,000 cities in the United States. Please remember this is an hour of silent prayer.
For 35 years, pro-life Christians across the United States and Canada have publicly, prayerfully, and peacefully stood in prayer and repentance on behalf of legalized abortion each fall. From its small beginnings as a local witness in California, the Life Chain has spread to more than 1,000 locations all over North America. The first Sunday of each October is usually National Life Chain Sunday. We believe that it is time for the Church to fight for the unborn with spiritual weapons. The battle for life will not be won in the courtroom or the voting booth until it is first won in prayer. We call for pastors to lead the Church in repentance for our nation.
