conducted in the field of bioethics that affirms the dignity of life. It further affirms life by targeting help to those in need-from those fighting disease to the disabled.

We also proudly work with crisis pregnancy centers around the country who put their hands and feet to the march for life to get their message out that young girls and women are not alone and have real options in bringing a beautiful new life into the world. The support is there for people who want to affirm life. You can find your closest pregnancy crisis center to volunteer and support them here.

Planned Parenthood facilities deceptively advertise online as Crisis Pregnancy Centers - while at the same time they - and other abortion proponents - sue authentic Crisis Pregnancy Centers. They are trying to force them to "warn" women that they don't provide abortion services.

It is up to us to be a voice and a practical support to truly life affirming Crisis Pregnancy Centers. We must aid them in their critical and heroic efforts to help women and save babies.

As we travelled around the country, we met parents affirming life outside of the spotlight day in and day out. We witnessed compassionate healthcare professionals, families, and caregivers affirm life in their everyday work.

We saw the affirmation of life from those assisting in crisis pregnancy centers, caretakers assisting the disabled as if they were their own child, and those assisting the elderly nearing the end of their precious life.

These are the voices and lives that inspire us. These are the heroes and voices which we need to lift up in America. It is our honor to stand with these heroes who dedicate their lives to affirming the dignity of every human life.

50 years ago, my parents were told that I would never be "right" after surviving meningitis at less than 2 yrs of age. Doctors know everything, don't they? My mother said it mattered not and wanted her baby boy.

Well, I sailed through school with straight A's. My only disability from this has been a partial hearing loss, but I get by without hearing aids. I've been an officer in the Army, a small business owner and now work as an engineer.

Perhaps I hear better than many of our elected officials.

Not just today, human life has always been treated as disposable. My brother with Downs Syndrom is now 57 years old. When he was born my parents were advised not to take him home; he would be a burden. He is the heart of our family of 14 siblings. I can still remember good old Jim Crow days; a large portion of our population was not considered to be human or at least inferior to white people. Every generation tends to think today is worse than it was in the previous generation.
