Youth Protection Policy
Because our focus is to prepare our youth for the future, we require that our adult leaders, supervisors and chaperones adhere to strict policies in their involvement with youth participating in the programs of Youth For Life of Northeast Ohio. All of those who participate in our programs --individuals, organizations and groups within and outside this organization--are expected to respect, implement and adhere to these provisions as a minimum.

View the video above for theatrical demonstration of surgical abortions performed in all three trimesters (with no blood), using surgical instruments that had formerly been used in thousands of abortions. This demonstration is presented by Dr. Bill Lile, an OBGYN and nationally reknowned speaker on pro-life and abortion issues. This 13 minute video is a composed from portions of a longer DVD presentation of Dr. Lile's entitled "God's Miracle of Life". While it is non-graphic and filmed in front of a high school class, it is still very powerful and contains verbal references to the actual procedure which can be disturbing. It is an excellent teaching tool, especially to show to those who believe that life inside the womb has no value or rights.
