Changes

'''British Columbia Teachers for Life''' started about 1985 as an informal group of teachers drawn together by their attitude of respect for human life and their concern about the issue of teachers' organizations officially supporting [[abortion]]. The original name was "British Columbia Teachers for Life." After operating for some years with a steering committee, they organized on a more formal basis in 1990. BCPTL has expressed its support for freedom of conscience for [[pro-life]] teachers whose dues are used to support "anti-life" policies, for parents whose rights it sees as threatened by the permission of [[pro-abortion]] counselling in the schools, and for students who are given pro-abortion messages. BCPTL has opposed the introduction of school programs that would promote a favourable attitude towards [[homosexual]] behavior. In March of 1998, in recognition of parent support, and in view of the fact that the organization saw itself as supporting parents' rights, the organization became "British Columbia Parents and Teachers for Life." <ref>http://www.bcptl.org/about.htm</ref>

British Columbia Parents and Teachers for Life publishes a ''Newsletter'' for members, and has in the past published a magazine-style publication called ''Parents' Alert'', sent to members and various organizations. It has a page on Facebook under the title "B.C. Parents and Teachers for Life." It sends a free E-Mail Bulletin to like-minded subscribers no matter where their location in the world.
