On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we celebrate the wonder of human existence and renew our commitment to building a culture of life that values every person from birth to natural death. The Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling deemed that the right to privacy protected a woman's right to have an abortion, regardless of whether or not this violated any State laws. This decision led to the loss of more than 50 million innocent lives.But strong mothers, courageous students, and an incredible community are leading a powerful movement to awaken America's conscience and restore the belief that every life is worthy of respect.The pro-life movement can be attributed to the pioneers who devoted so much of their time and energy to promoting its cause. This has led people to recognize the sanctity of life in America more than ever before.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day is observed annually on January 22nd.

President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed National Sanctity of Human Life Day in 1984.
