44 years ago today, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling that fundamentally changed the way we define when life begins. Representative Trey Hollingsworth issued the following statement regarding the anniversary of this decision:
"For nearly 50 years, thanks to the unacceptable decision brought about from Roe v. Wade, the lives of the unborn are treated as transactions rather than what they actually are: gifts from God. I am 100% pro-life, but now that my wife and I are expecting our first child, the sanctity of life means even more. I proudly stand with the unborn and will continue fighting for the sanctity of life."
