Tragically, nearly 1 million babies are aborted every year in the United States. Most years in Massachusetts over 18,000 babies lose their life through abortion.

Sunday, January 17th is set aside to celebrate the Sanctity of Human Life and stand in opposition to the culture of death promoted by the abortion industry. On this day in churches all over the nation pastors will speak the truth in love about abortion. For some women this can help them choose life for their unborn baby. And for those women who have been harmed by abortion they can find love, healing, and forgiveness. MFI encourages churches to recognize this special day.
