SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE SUNDAY
Thirty-two years ago the Christian Action Council, which is today known as Care Net, asked President Ronald Reagan to create a special day to focus on the intrinsic value of human life and the fundamental right to life. In 1983, President Reagan issued a proclamation establishing a National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday to be held on the Sunday in January that falls closest to the day on which the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. This important day also provides an opportunity for pregnancy centers to share about the work they do to bring life-affirming resources to their communities and to empower women and men to choose life for their unborn children.
