Help RI Right to Life advocate for the unborn, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled. Click Here About Us Rhode Island Right to Life was founded in 1970. We have been committed to the sanctity of human life for over 35 years. Rhode Island Right to Lifes mission is to advocate for a state, nation and world in which the innocent lives of the unborn, the disabled, the elderly, and the ill are cherished by the citizenry and protected by civil law. Each year, we lobby for legislation that advances the cause of the Sanctity of Human Life at both the state and federal levels. To see RI Right to Lifes Legislative Package for this year, please click here. Mary Ellen McQueeney-Lally Esq. is our lobbyist at RI State House. Each year, we bring a pro-life legislative package to the Rhode Island General Assembly. RIRTL holds conferences and gives talks to groups from churches and other organizations that have an interest in the pro-life issues. Through our Education Fund, we maintain a comprehensive library of books, pamphlets, and videos on pro-life issues. The library is open to the public during our office hours. We also use these funds to put up posters and billboards across the state of Rhode Island that promote life issues and help women with unplanned pregnancies.
