WHEREAS, Scripture clearly affirms the sanctity of human life and condemns its arbitrary destruction; and 

WHEREAS, The Declaration of Independence proclaims that “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”; and 

WHEREAS, The 14th Amendment to the Constitution states: "Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law; and 

WHEREAS, In Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court declared it could not resolve “the difficult question of when life begins” and on the basis of this unresolved question, declare a new “right to abortion” based on the “right of privacy”; and  

WHEREAS, Science is clear that human life begins at conception; and 

WHEREAS, Most Americans oppose abortion and want to protect innocent human life; 

THEREFORE, WE DECLARE that the deliberate killing of a human being, from fertilization to natural death is wrong.  We hereby proclaim that it is the purpose of the pro-life movement to restore full legal protection to all human beings, from fertilization to natural death, using peaceful and prayerful means in the pursuit of that goal. 

In furtherance of this purpose, we call on: 

• Our elected officials, at all levels of government, to support life legislation.
• The abortion industry to stop the violence against helpless children.
• Every pro-life supporter to reject violence and condemn those who commit violent acts.
• Everyone who supports life to endorse and work for the passage of a Human Life Amendment to state and federal constitutions that would recognize basic human rights inherent to every human being from fertilization to natural death.
