WHY IS RIGHT TO LIFE NEEDED?
At one time YOU were developing in your mother’s womb and were legally protected as a human life. However, on January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that the baby in the womb is not a legal person and therefore is not entitled to protection under the law during the term of his or her development. Since that deplorable ruling, millions of unborn children have been-and are being-legally killed.
A society that accepts the legal right to kill infants in the womb because they might be unwanted, less- than-perfect, or merely inconvenient will eventually find little difficulty in claiming the right to kill human beings outside the womb who would be judged “undesirable” according to some contrived legal standard of human worth. As human beings we must not let personal desire for “quality of life” diminish or destroy respect for the dignity and value of human life itself.
