National Sanctity Of Human Life Day
Every year, National Sanctity of Human Life Day highlights the importance of every human life on January 22nd. The United States Supreme Court's decision in 1973 Roe vs. Wade honors human life from the moment of conception and is commemorated on the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision.
The court ruled in 1973 that the United States Constitution guarantees a pregnant woman's right to have an abortion. Roe's appeal was a 7-2 decision.
Pro-life and pro-choice organizations advocated their positions leading up to and after the decision.
President Reagan placed limits on abortion in 1984. Multiple Supreme Court cases from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s have since fought Roe vs Wade. In addition,, states have taken action in the case Roe vs. Wade is ever overturned, whether writing rules that mimic Roe vs. Wade, or placing limits or restrictions on abortions.
