The Right to Life

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men…"

The Declaration of Independence

Our nation was founded on the principle that each human life is a gift given by our Creator God. Each one of us is valuable beyond measure, and is endowed with rights, specifically because God has poured His creative genius into making each one of us. We can rejoice that each of us is unique and unrepeatable. We are wonderfully made to know and to love God and each other. Our Nation’s founders recognized that the role of a just government is to recognize and protect this fundamental truth.

January 22, 1973 –

The Right to Kill

However, just over thirty years ago on this day, the US Supreme Court took away the right to life of preborn children. Instead of protecting life, the Court made it the role of government to protect killing.

The consequences have been horrific. Since 1973, over 45 million American children have been ripped from their mother’s womb by various forms of surgical abortion. Thousands of children’s lives have been snuffed out by partial-birth abortion – where a child is partly delivered and then stabbed in the head to have his or her brains sucked out. Abortion-causing chemicals like birth control pills, Norplant, Depo-Provera and RU-486 (marketed as "Mifiprex") not only cause early abortions, but can also harm the women who use them.

And yet, there are signs that our nation is emerging from this holocaust:

• The number of abortions is decreasing.

• The number of abortion mills has dropped.

• The number of Americans who identify themselves as Pro-Life is increasing

• Pray that the right to life will be returned to all preborn children

• Educate others on how each life is a gift that begins at fertilization (conception) and how every abortion kills a baby.

• Only use doctors who respect life. Use the coupon below to request a list of doctors who will not perform or refer for abortions.

• Care for mother, father, and child by supporting alternatives to abortion for women facing crisis pregnancies. Use the coupon below to request information on these organizations.

• Don’t use chemical birth control. Encourage anyone you know who is using abortion-causing chemicals and devices to stop. Use the coupon below to request information on natural, safe, and non-abortifacient methods of fertility regulation (Natural Family Planning).

• Contact your elected officials to politely but firmly insist that they support the right to life of all human beings, including preborn children.

• Ask your local Right to Life chapter about other Pro-Life activities (please use the coupon below or call us at the number shown).
