Every Human Life Has Value
 "Paul Says that we were "bought at a price" (1 Cor 6:20a NIV). All that Jesus did from His conception onward was part of that price. Paul reminds the Ephesian pastors of the magnitude of this price when he tells them, "Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood" (Acts 20:28b NIV).
God did not purchase us with the blood of a man or the blood of some holy martyr. God purchased us with His own blood in the person of Jesus! The price paid for sinful humanity was high.
The value it gives to human life is incalculable. Not every human being knows this, of course, and it is the task of the Church to share this message. But the fact remains, Jesus' life and death and resurrection give value to all human life. Every human being is created and redeemed."
-From "Created - Redeemed - Called" by Rev. Dr. James I Lamb, former executive director of Lutherans for Life
Happy Easter, from Missouri Right to Life

Legislation Saves Lives!
 The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services' annual vital statistics report shows that abortions decreased by 7% in 2014.
That year, 8,129 Missouri resident pregnancies were aborted compared with 8,740 in 2013.
The 2014 number represents a 32% decrease from 2004, and a remarkable decrease of 62% since Missouri's highest resident abortions in 1980 of 21,671.
This downward trend has been going on almost steadily thanks to years of hard work from pro-life activists like you pushing for legislation like alternatives to abortion funding, informed consent and more!
Please help us continue this trend by joining us on Tuesday, April 5 to lobby our legislators for more regulation of abortion facilities, a ban on dismemberment of abortions and defunding of Planned Parenthood from receiving our federal tax dollars. Registration begins at 10:00 a.m. in the Missouri State Capitol 1st floor rotunda.
Contact the Missouri Right to Life State Office, 573.635.5110, or visit www.missourilife.org for transportation and additional information regarding Pro-Life Action Days, including speaker info.
We hope to see you all there. Don't forget to wear RED for LIFE!
