On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamationdesignating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. (In 1973, January 22 was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.)
Churches continue to recognize the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. In 2024, that date falls on January 21. On Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, churches throughout the United States celebrate God's gift of life, commemorate lives lost to abortion, and commit to protecting human life at every stage. Each year, Life Matters Worldwide prepares free resources that can be easily printed.
Life Matters Worldwide creates materials that defend the biblical claim that all human life is sacred and mobilize God's people for action. Find resources below to help you promote Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
