January 22, 2011, marks 38 years since the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton U.S. Supreme Court decisions were handed down. These rulings legalized abortion in the United States through all nine months of pregnancy. In 38 years, more than 52 million children preparing to be born have tragically lost their lives to abortion in our nation.
Abortion, sadly, relies on a lack of hope for the future. A woman's decision to abort her child can only seem plausible when giving birth seems impossible.
Right to Life of Michigan refuses to accept abortion as a solution. Local prolife groups from across Michigan are planning special services and events to bring attention to the violence of abortion. This month, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday will also be observed in many churches.

The Guttmacher Institute, an organization which tracks abortion data, reported this month that the long-time abortion decline has stalled. After 15 years of seeing abortions decrease in the United States, the 2008 abortion rate is unchanged from 2005. With more than 1 million abortions performed in the US each year, the loss of human lives cannot be comprehended. While abortion may be legal in the eyes of the law, it is violent. Every abortion cruelly ends the life of an innocent human being.
The work of Right to Life of Michigan is needed more than ever. Help us be a voice for the voiceless.
