 Sacrificing the Elderly or Making Sacrifices FOR Them? How the
COVID-19 Crisis Shows the Value of All Human Life

hands_bible.jpeg

 Times of crisis often bring what we really believe to the
surface. Our actions in the midst of an emergency tend to reveal where
our priorities lie and what is most valuable to us, and it is in these
moments that treasuring human life proves essential because it is
those who are most vulnerable who are at risk. To be pro-life is to
care for all of life, from conception until natural death. It is to
see that the worth of every individual is rooted in the fact that they
are stamped with the image of our Creator, and created and loved by
him. Because every life is valuable, every individual ought to be
treated with care and dignity, regardless of their age or ability.
When we value life, we are willing to inconvenience ourselves for the
sake of the people around us.

In the past week, we've seen communities mobilize to protect
those who are at high risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19.
Grocery stores are setting aside designated times for elderly and
at-risk shoppers, while churches and communities are mobilizing to
meet needs that have arisen in the past week.

Tragically, our society isn't always consistent in its care for the
most vulnerable. Our culture is increasingly embracing the lie
that some lives are more valuable than others. Disregard for the
value of life anywhere leads to disregard for the value of life
everywhere. Arguments for abortion on the basis of disability are
based on the same lies that feed the euphemistically-termed
"death with dignity" movement. Both are based on the idea
that a person's worth is determined by what they are able to
contribute to society, and ultimately lead to chilling calculations in
which a person's death is seen as more valuable

 Abby Johnson Defied Planned Parenthood. Are You Ready to Hear
Her Story in Person at Our Annual Dinner? (May 11)

[link removed]

Registration is now open for our biggest event of the year - our
annual dinner with pro-life superstar Abby Johnson. Abby's work with
And Then There Were None, a charity that helps abortion workers leave
the industry, has been hugely successful. And her new initiative, Love
Lines, gives financial support to women who choose LIFE.

[link removed]

But her story began in 2009, when she was a clinic director for
Planned Parenthood and had to witness, for the first time, an
ultrasound-guided abortion. With horror, she saw for the first time
what abortion really is: the killing by dismemberment of a baby. She
walked away and has been working to save lives ever since. Her
book Unplanned was turned into one of last year's most
surprising hit movies.   

Please know that we will comply with all directives from city and
state governments regarding large events, and we are committed to
doing what we need to do for the safety of our friends and guests. If
the status of our Annual Dinner scheduled for May 11 changes, we will
alert you as soon as possible.
