When the founders of our country declared their independence they proclaimed the self evident truth that all men are created equal and have an unalienable right to life. For the last 36 years our first and most foundational right has been undermined by the legally sanctioned murder of unborn children in our country. The unborn have been dehumanized as “tissue masses,” “cell clusters,” non-persons who therefore have no rights or (very little, at least) protection under the law. That is why a group of us here take the time every year on Independence Day to publicly celebrate the sanctity of all human life and hopefully help others see the beauty and the goodness of the human person in all stages of development.
