‘The real question today is not when human life begins, but, what is the value of human life?”
President Ronald Reagan asserted this on the tenth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, writing in “Abortion and the Conscience of America,” an unsolicited article in The Human Life Review. (The article was later published as a short book introduced by commentaries.) “The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother’s body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law — the same right we have.”
