On the pulse of pro-life issues for nearly 50 years.

Founded in 1972, Pulse for Life, previously Iowans for LIFE, is the longest-standing, non-profit, pro-life organization in Iowa. We're dedicated to informing, educating, and inspiring a new generation to value the sanctity of all human life from fertilization to natural death.

Bringing Life Issues
to Life

Our mandate is to defend the right to life from fertilization until natural death.

The battle against the throw away culture of death is being won and hearts and minds are changing. The pro-life movement continues to grow as more young people are flocking to the movement. But there is more work yet to be done to protect the sanctity of all human life.
