Right to Life has been active over the last two years. There have been many challenges as our country has faced a tidal wave of legislation hostile to innocent human life and to our traditional values. We have fought the battle to be a preservative in the war on our foundational values. While we have not often been successful Right to Life continues to hold the line and fight for those who can not fight for themselves. This is our own founding principle. We will continue to do so and we will not be cowered by the flood of liberalism. We will not be silenced.
