| Since 1983, Americans have observed
Sanctity of Human Life Sunday as a
day to celebrate the intrinsic value
of all human life. This year will
mark the 39th anniversary of the tragic
Supreme Court decision in Roe vs.
Wade that opened the floodgates for
abortion on demand. Since January
22, 1973, approximately 50 million
children have been aborted in the
United States. This important day
provides an opportunity for churches
to emphasize life-affirming resources
in their communities and to empower
women and men to choose life for their
unborn children. Most area churches
will observe Sanctity of Human Life
Sunday on January 22nd, though many
Southern Baptist churches will observe
it on Sunday, January 15th.
