“America, America, God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.”

America the Beautiful, by Katherine Lee Bates, 1895


Friend,


I hope you are especially proud to be an American as you celebrate
Independence Day 2022. Your faithful longtime support of life resulted in
overturning a great injustice at last –Roe v. Wade. Now, because of you,
America begins a new life in theDobbs era—one that is finally in concert with
our country’s founding values.

In this you join the greatest moral movements in American history: the fight
to end slavery; to enfranchise women; to bring equality under the law to every
one of our countrymen and women.

In each case, those pressing for an awakening of justice suffered setbacks,
discouragement, attacks. In each case, many of those who fought for these noble
causes their whole lives did not even live to see their victories. In each
case, these movements persisted in calling out the best in Americans, not the
worst; they demanded that we live up to the values of our United States
Constitution, not allow ourselves to divide in the hope of conquering. In each
case, those who fought did not give up, even in the darkest moments.

Those who oppose us now have responded to the new Dobbs era with threats,
attacks, lies and even violence, pledging to usurp the rule of law and
America’s traditions. In contrast, you should rejoice that your victory for
life came through the best of America’s traditions; through prayers,
perseverance, and working though the democratic process that put on the high
court at last enough justices committed to the Constitution to recognize and
undo the terrible wrong that wasRoe v. Wade.

It’s a tragedy that so many in the womb had to fall to this injustice before
it was rectified. But now it is for them that we rise to the challenge of being
people who celebrate this victory but don’t rest in it. Rather, it’s in the
name of those we lost that we must fight harder than ever to bring a love of
the unborn and their mothers to every state in the union.

Those who mourned the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 were prescient when they
predicted it would lead to a devaluing of life across the board in our culture,
to more violence, brokenness, and further injustices. We now have a chance to
change this, to work together to save the unborn, and protect their mothers and
help them to flourish with their babies. But this beautiful work will not stop
there. Like a pebble thrown into a pond it will inexorably launch a movement
that impacts our culture for the better and makes it more compassionate, more
just, and more merciful.

Thank you for bringing our movement and America herself to this new day, free
from a great weight that has been undermining the best impulses of our country
for almost 50 years. Free fromRoe v. Wade, and with you, we will call all our
fellow citizens to rise to the best of America in the weeks, and months, and
years ahead.

I’m so grateful to be with you on this new journey. Happy Independence Day.

“. . . and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.”


For LIFE,
