What is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday?
President Ronald Reagan issued a Presidential proclamation on January 13, 1984, designating Sunday, January 22, 1984, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. The designated day was in opposition to the 11th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court issued a ruling that gave women the option to abort their unborn babies.
Though we are joyful that Roe was overturned on June 24th, 2022, the fight is still very active as decisions on abortion have now become a state issue. Abortion is still legal in Florida until 6 weeks, and women and families are still in need of resources and support for their pregnancies. We ask you to join in us prayer for abortion to end in our lifetime and to help us meet the needs of expecting families in Northeast Florida.
