Proclamation on the Sanctity of Human Life

Whereas, on January 13, 1984 President Ronald Regan issued the first Presidential Proclamation regarding the sanctity of human life and designated National Sanctity of Life Day; and

Whereas, our Founding Fathers inscribed into the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain, unalienable rights, that amongst these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and without life there is no liberty or happiness; and

Whereas, every person, the born and the unborn, the poor and the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly all have inherent value and no life is inconsequential or without worth; and

Whereas, The City of Twin Falls adopted a neighborly city resolution that calls for all to accept and respect the dignity and worth of every life and is committed to protecting innocent life every day.

Now therefore, we the undersigned do hereby call on all citizens of the City of Twin Falls to, civilly and legally, protect and defend the dignity of every human life, including those not yet born. And to help care for women in unexpected pregnancies and to support adoption and foster care in a meaningful way. Further, I invite all citizens who believe in prayer to join on March 1, 2020, to pray for our City, State, and Nation.

Signed: Mayor, Suzanne Hawkins
