About SUL
Save Unborn Life partners directly with pregnancy resource centers across Pennsylvania to support women in very specific circumstances — cases where the choice between abortion and life comes down to financial need alone.
When a center identifies that a mother would choose life if not for financial hardship, SUL steps in to help remove that barrier.
As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity, every contribution made is tax-deductible, helping us walk alongside more women on their path toward hope and motherhood.
Why Financial Support Matters
"The average woman choosing abortion makes the decision within a day of confirming her pregnancy and obtains an abortion within the next week.
The most frequently cited reason for abortion is financial concerns."

Our Partners
At Save Unborn Life, we recognize that financial support alone rarely changes a mother's mind—but it is often the missing piece that allows her to move forward with hope. That's why we proudly partner with pregnancy resource centers across Pennsylvania that walk alongside women facing complex challenges such as financial hardship, unstable relationships, housing insecurity, and fear about the future. These centers lead with compassion, dignity, and love, while many are guided by the hands and heart of Christ in every conversation and act of service.
Our partners provide far more than financial assistance. They offer pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, counseling, parenting education, fatherhood programs, budgeting classes, and essential baby supplies, building relationships that strengthen families for years to come. While these centers provide extraordinary care, many lack the resources to bridge the final financial gap that often influences an abortion decision. That is where Save Unborn Life steps in. Together, we are removing barriers, restoring hope, and empowering parents to confidently choose life.

President Emeritus:
Laura Merriott
"Looking back over more than 20 years, I am deeply grateful for every donor, pregnancy center, volunteer, board member, and supporter who has helped make this work possible.
But most of all, I am grateful for every mother who found the courage and support she needed to choose life."
Board President:
Roger Kent
"Serving as President of Save Unborn Life is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I believe every human life has inherent dignity and value, and I am passionate about supporting mothers, protecting the unborn, and advancing a culture that cherishes life. Through this organization, I have the opportunity to work alongside compassionate, dedicated people who are committed to making a meaningful difference for families and communities. It is an honor to help lead a mission that offers hope, compassion, and practical support while standing for the sanctity of every human life."
Board Vice President:
Dee Volpe-Gubicza
"Being on the Board of Save Unborn Life provides me with a deep sense of purpose. With each life that is saved, I feel a complete sense of joy. I’m proud to work with such dedicated and Pro-Life board members. Together, we can continue to save one baby at a time!"
Board Secretary:
John Cannon
"I am firmly pro-life, yet I struggle with the hostility that so often surrounds the issue.
In the 1990s, my wife Celia and I lived in Thailand while I worked for Bankers Trust. My only American colleague was a dedicated Planned Parenthood supporter. He knew I attended the Catholic church in Bangkok every Sunday; I knew his views. Despite our differences, our families spent much time together—and we remain friends today.
That experience is why I value SUL’s apolitical mission: simply helping expectant mothers choose life when finances are the barrier."
Board Treasurer:
David Kreh
“Serving as Treasurer for Save Unborn Life is a special privilege for me. The organization fills an important niche in efforts to save the lives of the unborn.
It is truly rewarding to see the lives being impacted, the babies that are being saved and the families that are being transformed “

Development Manager:

"I believe every life is intentionally created by God and filled with purpose.
Serving through Save Unborn Life allows me to share the love of Christ by offering both hope and practical support, so mothers, fathers and families can see their God-given worth and confidently walk the path He has prepared for them."
