budget options. If you agree with the basic design and budget,

they can help you ?nalize the details of the design. I suggest you

see several ideas before you make your ?nal selection. With the

proper design program, you can view many different options in

a short amount of time and even tweak them so that you have all

the information you need to feel comfortable with your decision.

RURAL-URBAN RECORD, January 23, 2017 Page 11

“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 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 today – Life is Disposable: On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court took away the right to life of unborn children.1 In the ensuing forty-four
years, over 58 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, patches, implants, and injections -- all of which can cause very
early abortions.2

Our Nation’s future – A Culture of Death? Instead of protecting life, the Supreme Court made it the role of government to protect killing. The result has been
to put all human lives at risk. After 44 years of killing innocent children through abortion, our Nation is seeing the right to life eroded in other ways. The
cancers of assisted suicide and euthanasia are infecting our Nation, putting elderly, disabled, and ill people increasingly at risk of being killed against their
wishes. What can be done?

Bringing America Back to Life: It’s time to return to the view that every human life is a gift from God to be welcomed, respected, and protected. While abor-
tion pits a mother against her preborn child, they are not each other’s enemies. We can love and care for them both, even in dif?cult circumstances.3 And, in
times of illness or disability, forced death is not a solution. We can lovingly accompany those who are struggling while respecting their dignity and worth.
We can overcome the culture of death with a culture of life and love!

We, the undersigned, see the killing of unborn children as a national tragedy, and also as the gateway
to a culture of death..

We are dedicated to protecting life -- Join us!
