About Us

Who We Are - defending life since 1973...

Windsor-Essex County Right to Life is a Registered Charity (#BN 119299618 RR 0001) . We promote respect for all human life from fertilization until natural death. Our services are free. We support only peaceful means to uphold the dignity and equality of all human life. 

 We have a LIBRARY of books and videos you may borrow / purchase.  

Lots of free pamphlets are available!  Other Pro-Life materials are available for a small donation.

 Become a donor  (scroll down to see how!!) to receive NEWSLETTERS, flyers and other informative mailings detailing many Pro-Life events. Get involved! 

WERTL Memberships are $10 per person per calendar year.  Membership benefit is voting rights at members' meetings.

 We rely on donations (tax receipts are given for donations of $20 or more) to continue our work to educate the public on matters of the most basic of human rights -- the Right to Life.    

Sue Orcsik is our Office Administrator.
