2023 calendar of events & activities

January 22 is the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decisions that legalized abortion-on-demand in 1973. Although the SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the fight for life continues at the state and local levels. We encourage all individuals, churches, and organizations to use the first month of the year to recommit to defending and promoting the unalienable right to life of all human beings, born and unborn.
