TO THE EDITOR:

This Sunday marked the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade court decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. Each year, hundreds of thousands gather in our nation’s capital to speak out not only against the injustice of abortion, but also the negative physical, emotional and psychological effects
which have harmed so many women, men and children.

Carolina Students for Life is present among these marchers in D.C., taking part in the 39th annual March for Life today. The mission of CSFL, while promoting life-affirming legislation and values, is also to help and support those experiencing hardship related to pregnancy and those suffering after an abortion.

Although it has been almost 40 years since the Supreme Court decision, this is still an issue that affects so many individuals both directly and indirectly, and it will not be ignored. The destruction of
human life — which, as science tells us, begins at fertilization — is not something that should ever be taken lightly. We unite with those who share our conviction that life in all its forms should be rotected and respected with dignity.
