When he was just 15 years old, Gabriel Dionisi experienced a call to help the pro-life movement and began creating bumper stickers. Now a university senior, he’s given away more than 10,000 stickers which point people to Heartbeat International’s Option Line.
“It's not too hard to make your own bumper stickers because you can make the design online and there's free services where you can do graphic design and put together some text and graphics,” Dionisi told Pregnancy Help News. “Then you can submit that to a printing company to have them print out the bumper stickers, which is what I do.”
Originally, he gave away the bumper stickers at his parish and at local pro-life events. In 2023, he decided to expand the outreach.
“I decided I really wanted to take this to a bigger scale because the bumper stickers can be used all over the country,” Dionisi said.
He learned about the 24/7 pro-life contact center Option Line, which also reaches the entire United States plus countries overseas, connecting clients to pregnancy help in their area.
“Option Line has coverage throughout the United States, and I felt like I wanted to get this message in front of as many people all over the place as I can,” Dionisi said. ”So, I made a website, ProLifeStickers.com, and on that website I set it up so that people can go and request bumper stickers.”
“I give the bumper stickers away to people,” he added. “But for larger quantities, I reserve the right to charge a fee. However, if it's for a pro-life charity like a pregnancy center, I try not to, and if it's for a church I try not to require any fee.”
Dionisi has attended pro-life events and distributed the stickers. Some of those events include the Students for Life National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C. in January 2024 and 2025, SoulFest, and the 2022 the Massachusetts GOP State Convention.
He said he receives funding from individuals and families who believe in this mission.
Dionisi started his small business after learning more about abortion and becoming “more serious about my Catholic faith,” he said.
“That’s how I became more aware of how big of an issue abortion is,” he stated.

Pro-life values on the rise with young people
Many more young people like Dionisi are identifying as pro-life. According to Students for Life, a Gallup poll released in early summer 2025 showed the following:
- Only 34 percent of young adults now agree that “abortion should be legal in all circumstances,” a drop of 14 points since 2022.
- Pro-life identification among young adults climbed to 37 percent, an 11-pointincrease since 2022.
Nearly four years ago, Students for Life began seeing a shift in the attitudes and positions of young people when another poll taken showed that a heartbeat “matters to millennials and Gen Z.” At that time 52 percent of millennials thought that after a baby’s heartbeat is detected, abortion should not be done at all or done only with certain exceptions such as rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger. That number was an increase over the 47 percent who supported the heartbeat ideal just the previous year in 2021.
Dionisi serves as president of the Students for Life chapter at his school, Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts. He has filled that role since autumn 2024. He was also involved with the organization when he was younger.
“I'm a fan of theirs, and one of their priorities, too, is helping women if they have a pregnancy or if they're raising a child,” Dionisi said. “Students For Life wants to make it easier for women to still have their education, and so they do things like offering scholarships for pregnant and parenting students, and they’re trying to change school policies to make schools more friendly to women who are pregnant and parenting.”
“It is a joy to see young people taking initiative to raise awareness of pregnancy help,” said Andrea Trudden, vice president of Communications & Marketing for Heartbeat International, the largest network of pregnancy help organizations in the U.S. and internationally. “Gabriel recognized a need and found a simple, meaningful way to respond.’
“We may never know how many lives are touched by his efforts, and that is okay,” she said. “We trust that God will place these messages before the right people at the right time, offering hope and help when it matters most.”
“What I love about the pro-life movement is that there are so many opportunities for us as regular people to literally save the lives of others,” Dionisi said. “And I believe it is so important for people, especially young people, to get involved in this because we can make an impact and build a better culture and a better world where all human life is loved and protected.”
“I really encourage more young people to get involved in this mission to save lives because it's such an amazing opportunity that we have to really save the lives of others,” he said.

Supporting pregnancy help
Dionisi has also been involved in fundraising for an area maternity home, Friends of the Unborn, which has been in operation for more than 40 years.
“They have some really nice programs going,” he said.
He has performed three fundraisers for the home. In 2023, he created Christmas cards and sold them in his church. Last fall, he and others held a bake sale at his college. And this year he sold Christmas cards at his school.
As he prepares to move forward with his education and his ministry, Dionisi shared his continued desire to support pregnancy help.
“I'd love to have more pregnancy centers and those who support them request and distribute these bumper stickers,” Dionisi said. “I hope there are more people out there who want to support this mission and encourage women to find that help.”
