"All human life is a gift to be treasured"Life
No human being need prove his or her moral worth by demonstrating sentience, or self-awareness, or a certain level of cognitive ability. Neither scientific progress nor the desire to help others can justify sacrificing the life or inherent dignity of any human being. Every human, born or unborn, deserves the equal protection of the law.
Abortion
Nevertheless, for decades our national and state laws have rarely recognized these truths. So, The Family Foundation works to present the intrinsic dignity of unborn human life and the costs of abortion to the public, lawmakers, and the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, declaring abortion to be a constitutional “right,” was without foundation in the text of the Constitution and was thus wrongly decided. We look forward to the day when this grave error will be corrected.
If the absence of a heart beat indicates death, then what does the presence of a heart beat in the womb, 18 days after conception, indicate? The answer is LIFE! That is HUMAN LIFE – most often, before the mother even knows she is pregnant. A “termination of pregnancy” must be viewed by Kentucky government and by Kentucky citizens as what it really is, the termination of a LIFE. Kentucky could be, and should be, a leading state in the effort to undo this wrong in America, and even in the world.
