Sanctity of Human Life is a foundation providing guidance regarding how

we treat others.

37 years ago that foundation cracked.

January 22, 1973

Roe v. WadeRepealed all state laws prohibiting abortion.

Doe v. BoltonExtended the right to abortion to the entire

9 months of pregnancy.

7 out of 9 ruled that all human life is NOT sacred.

Roe v. Wade

Abortion legal in all 50 states

States could only apply restrictions in the last 3 months of pregnancy – unless the life

or “health” of the mother was at stake

Doe v. Bolton

Defined “health” as all factors:

Physical

Emotional

Psychological

Familial

Woman’s age

“Health” =

Abortion for ANY REASON

throughout all 9 months of

pregnancy

The Aftermath

37 years later . . .

Why do so many women have abortions?

Convenience

Financial Concerns

Relationship problems/Young & unmarried

According to Family Planning Perspectives

Reasons:

Too many express regret and say they

felt “alone.”

We have not met the needs of women and children

Since January 22, 1973 . . .

50 million have been denied the Right to Life

1.2 million unborn children are denied life EVERY YEAR

It’s time . . .

Repair the foundation

Recognize all human life is sacred

Modern technology and

science has uncovered the

miraculous developments of the unborn child.

Heart starts beating at 22 days

Eyes begin to develop by the 4th week

At 6 weeks, the baby hiccups and moves spontaneously

Each person is a masterpiece

Today is a new day.

“This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24
