When is National Sanctity Of Human Life Day?

Sunday January 22nd

National Sanctity of Human Life Day, each year, recognizes the importance of every human life on January 22nd. The 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision marks the start of human life from the time of conception and is commemorated on the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973.

The court ruled that the United States Constitution guarantees a pregnant woman's right to have an abortion in 1973. Roe's appeal was a 7-2 decision.

Pro-life and pro-choice organizations argued for their positions throughout the process leading up to and after the decision.

President Reagan placed limits on abortion in 1984. Several Supreme Court cases in the late 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s have since questioned Roe vs Wade. In addition,, states have taken action in the event Roe v. Wade is ever overturned, whether writing rules that mimic Roe vs. Wade, or placing limits or restrictions on abortions.
