Hoven Area Right to Life, one of several chapters affiliated with South Dakota Right to Life, which is affiliated with National Right to Life, was organized in 1979. Members work individually and collectively to restore respect and legal protection to all human life, from conception to natural death. Toward those ends, Hoven Area Right to Life regularly engages in numerous educational activities to increase awareness of several pro-life issues. Several Hoven area pro-lifers, past and present, are among those particularly active on both state and national levels.
