Blessed John Paul II proclaimed that we are all "called to stand up for life! To respect and defend the mystery of life always and everywhere." At the University of St. Thomas Prolife Center, this is our mission - to carry out the calling through our works and prayers against all attacks on human life.
We are driven by the single truth that all life is precious, from the moment of fertilization to the moment of natural death. Our goal is to equip lawyers with the knowledge and skills needed to change our country's laws to reflect this truth.
The Prolife Center was founded on the belief that if we are going to see the day when our country's laws respect all life, we need more lawyers who are equipped with a deep desire to change the law as well as the knowledge and skills needed to do so.
Our director, Professor Teresa S. Collett, has decades of experience representing individuals and organizations, supporting state governments and testifying before state and national legislative committees in order to protect human life.
On June 29, 2022, Professor Collett was invited to speak during the online event "Life After Roe," a national webcast organized by David Bereit of the Equal Rights Institute, the Pro-Life Partners Foundation and the Thomas More Society.
Professor Teresa Collett and Jason Adkins from the Minnesota Catholic Conference discuss physician-assisted suicide and anticipated legislative efforts to legalize physician-assisted suicide in Minnesota in the upcoming 2024 legislative session.
Professor Collett was part of a group of scholars offering a 'Statement of Pro-Life Principle and Political Prudence' that was organized by the Ethics and Public Policy Center and published by Public Discourse.

There is a danger of speaking too much about Thomas Merton and too little about his deep concerns. We should be aware of that danger and make special efforts not to fall into hero worship in speaking of him. Rather, we should dwell upon the things he stood for. He still stands for them because he is more alive in the minds of people today than he was before he died. One of the most important things Merton advocates is the marginal person taking a stand against labels. If we follow this carefully, we may find that we arrive at our own center by the guidance of Thomas Merton, precisely because we choose to be marginal.
This may have become particularly evident to him through his visit with the Tibetans, which was the most important experience of his Asian trip. His visit with the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan monks impressed Merton more than all other Asian encounters. Of course, these Tibetans have experienced Marxism as a force that destroyed much of their monastic structure. And Merton is confronting Marxism also as a political force that destroyed all structures. What happens when these structures are destroyed? In the future, he says, we will not rely on structures. We cannot be sure whether any of the structures with which we are familiar will outlast even our lifetime. What then are we supposed to do? What is the essence of monastic life?
The moment we stand on our own two feet, the moment we find contemplative life at the root of monastic life, deep down in our own hearts, in our own center, we go beyond division. That is the third essential that Merton sifts out in facing the monastic identity crisis: that the Christian monastic calling is one that unites us with all monks. There again is this crack where he breaks out from the enclosed shell of a Trappist, Christian, monastic structure into universal monasticism. Monks East and West share the same quest, the contemplative quest of the human heart, in which we are all united. We go beyond division to an inner liberty which no one can touch.
Today, February 22nd, is the birthday of Thomas N. Crumpler. Although his last name is instantly recognizable to residents of Ashe County, the story of his life has never been fully explored. This brief biography attempts to understand the life of this important historical figure.
As time goes by, and one generation gives way to the next, it is easy to forget those who came before. Even those individuals who were well known and highly regarded in their own time can quickly become erased from history. Names that once rang with reputation in Ashe County, like Elijah Calloway, Stephen Thomas, and Nathan Waugh, are now totally foreign to the majority of modern residents. However, one Ashe County resident of the 19th century has been able to hold a spot in our collective consciousness even into the 21st century, and it has largely been a result of a post office. Thomas Crumpler, the man whose name is now printed on the envelopes of thousands of Ashe County residents, was, for a brief moment, one of the most well known figures in Ashe County.
Crumpler was as good as his word. Almost immediately after the declaration of secession, he began organizing a cavalry force to join the Confederate war effort. By August of 1861, Crumpler was the captain of his own company and he and his 100 followers, the majority from Ashe County, had set off for the camp of Colonel Robert Ransom near Ridgeway in Warren County, North Carolina.
St. Jude is dedicated to treating kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition to patient treatment, St. Jude is focused on cutting-edge research to help us better understand pediatric cancer and how to treat it. Each day, we are working toward a cure, so every child who comes to us can be given their best chance to grow up.
Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that no child should die in the dawn of life." Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
We provide the best possible care for our patients. We also make discoveries that will lead to better treatment for sick children and young adults around the world. We accomplish both by treating patients using clinical trials, taking the standard of care one step beyond. Acceptance to St. Jude may be based on potential eligibility for an open clinical trial.
When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80% within the U.S., and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you help give kids with cancer around the world that chance. Together, we can save more lives.
The life of Vivien Thomas is an inspiring story of an African-American pioneer who overcame the barriers imposed by a segregated society. With no formal medical training, he developed techniques and tools that would lead to today's modern heart surgery. In operating rooms all over the world, great surgeons who received their training from Vivien Thomas are performing life-saving surgical procedures. We honor his legacy with the naming of the Vivien Thomas High School Research Program at the Morehouse School of Medicine. The Vivien Thomas Research Program for high school students was established to provide experiences in the research laboratories at the Morehouse School of Medicine. Students conduct research for six weeks under the direction of a medical school faculty member and learn the content, process and methodology involved in inquiry science. At the end of this summer experience, students present their research findings to the faculty and staff at MSM.
Vivien T. Thomas was born in New Iberia, Louisiana on August 29, 1910. His family later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he was educated in the public schools. In 1929, after working as an orderly in a private infirmary to raise money for college, he enrolled as a premedical student at Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial College. The bank crash that year wiped out his life's savings, forcing him to drop out of school.
In 1930, he took a position at Vanderbilt University as a laboratory assistant with Alfred Blalock. Thomas' abilities as a surgical assistant and research associate were of the highest quality, and when Blalock moved to Johns Hopkins in 1941 he asked Thomas to accompany him. Thomas joined Blalock's surgical team and helped to develop the procedure used in the "blue baby" operation. He helped train many of the surgeons at Johns Hopkins in the delicate techniques necessary for heart and lung operations.
Thomas was a member of the medical school faculty from 1976 until 1985 and was presented with the degree of Honorary Doctor of Laws by the Johns Hopkins University in 1976. Today, in operating rooms all over the world, there are great surgeons performing life saving surgical procedures who received their training from Vivien Thomas. His achievements stand as a testament to the power of research, discovery, and persistence to improve the health of generations to come, a legacy we honor with the naming of the Vivien Thomas High Summer Research Program at Morehouse School of Medicine.
