Welcome to the Dartmouth Coalition for Life (DCFL) web site. DCFL strives to be a coalition in the truest sense of the word. The convenient but misleading conservative/liberal, Republican/Democratic, reactionary/progressive, etc. classifications cannot adequately describe our group as a whole. Our members can (and do) disagree on many other issues. All are brought together, however, through their belief in the above three principles which we aim to promote and support in the Dartmouth community and beyond.

Three main beliefs drive and unite the Dartmouth Coalition for Life:

  • We believe that human life is precious.
  • We believe that human life begins at conception.
  • We believe in the fundamental right to life.


DCFL meetings are every Tuesday night from 9:30 to 10:30 PM in Collis Room 219.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

Upcoming Events:

We're interested in organizing a student debate on abortion - if you'd like to participate, please let us know. Also, suggestions for speakers or other events are always welcome.
