Join other leading publications from around the world who syndicate our news articles

The Right To Life News Syndication Programme allows online and print media outlets the opportunity to republish any content from the Right To Life News service for free.

We want our pro-life content to reach as many people as possible, and so we publish our news content under a Creative Commons license.

Currently, there are a number of leading online and print outlets from around the world who republish our news articles. Many have told us these articles reach a wide audience on their platforms. All our articles are designed to bring important life issues topics to life and they go through our full fact-checking process, which is overseen by Right To Life News Editor-in-Chief, Dr Gregory Jackson.

To receive an email notification when a news article that can be republished is posted on our website, please click here.

Content is published under a Creative Commons — Attribution/No derivatives license. This means you are free to republish our articles online or in print for free, provided you follow these guidelines:

  • If you republish the full article online, you must set the page to “noindex, follow” (so search engines don’t rank the republished copy above the original) AND set the Canonical URL to the original Right To Life UK article URL.
    Full instructions on doing this in around 30 seconds are listed below. If you cannot do this, please use an extract instead (see special cases section below).
  • Please include a clear credit to Right To Life UK and a link to the original article.
    A clear credit to Right To Life UK and a functional “dofollow” link to the original article must be placed at the top of the page.
    Preferred credit wording:
    “Read the original version of this article [here] (link ‘here’ to the original Right To Life UK article). This article was originally published by Right To Life UK and is republished with permission. Right To Life UK is a pro-life charity supported by 250,000 grassroots supporters – the UK’s largest pro-life grassroots network – focused on abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia.”
    If you prefer, you can include a short credit at the top of the article (for example,“This article was originally published by Right To Life UK [here] (link ‘here’ to the original Right To Life UK article)”) and then include the full wording above at the end of the article.
  • You cannot edit our content, except to reflect relative changes in time, location and editorial style. Headlines must remain substantially the same to ensure search engines and AI tools recognise the articles as the same report. If you do wish to edit the content, you will need to ask Right To Life UK for approval prior to publication via the following email address: syndication@righttolife.org.uk.
  • You cannot sell our material separately, but you are permitted to put our articles on pages with ads.
  • You have to ensure you are licensed to republish images in our articles. Most of the images we use can be republished without copyright concerns as they are from websites that provide free stock images. However, some images cannot be republished without permission or payment. You are welcome to omit our images or substitute them with your own. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have obtained the necessary rights to use any images that are published with an article. Charts and interactive graphics follow the same rules.
  • Special cases:
    • Extracts: you can run the first few lines or paragraphs of the article and then say: “Read the full article at Right To Life UK” with a link back to the article.
    • Quotes: you are free to quote authors provided you include a link back to the article URL.
    • Translations: are permitted.
    • Print: articles can be published in print under these same rules. Although we do not require it, we would appreciate it if you would send an image of the republished article along with a readership estimate to syndication@righttolife.org.uk.
