“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.”

The Declaration of Independence

Our Nation at its Founding – Life is a Gift: 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, speci?cally because God has poured His creative genius into making each one of us. We are wonderfully made to know
and to love God and each other. And in God’s plan, a husband and wife are given the awesome privilege of co-creating, with God, a brand new human life.

The Horrible Reality of Abortion: On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court took away the right to life of unborn children. Instead of protecting life, the Court

made it the role of government to protect killing. In the ensuing forty-two years, over 56 MILLION American babies have been killed by being surgically ripped from the
safety and warmth of their mothers’ wombs. Millions more have been killed by so-called “contraceptives” including the birth control pill, morning after pill, and other patches,
implants, and injections that can cause very early abortions.

Each of us is Unique and Unrepeatable. At 9 months of age, we triggered labor and birth and began life outside our mothers. But our existence began 9 months ear-

lier as a single cell, smaller than a grain of sugar, but with all our traits already determined: boy or girl, eye color, hair color, and even our dimples! By day 21, our hearts were
circulating our own blood. At 40 days, our brain waves could be detected.

By 8 weeks, every organ was At 4 months, we could suck our
present, and our liver and thumb, turn somersaults, and we
kidneys were functioning. could feel pain.

8 Weeks From that point forward, we 20 Weeks
have simply grown up!
16 Weeks

Bringing America Back to Life: It’s time to return to the view that children are gifts from God to be welcomed, respected and protected!

We, the undersigned, see the killing of unborn children by abortion as a national tragedy.

We are dedicated to protecting life and loving both mother and child. Join us!
