A RESOLUTION
To recognize Wednesday, June 2, 2010, as Pro-Life Day at the Louisiana State Capitol and
to commend the state's pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, and maternity
homes.
WHEREAS, it is appropriate to recognize Wednesday, June 2, 2010, as Pro-Life Day
at the Louisiana State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, all human life is a gift that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection,
and each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose
in this world; and
WHEREAS, abortion unjustly takes the life of an innocent human baby and forever
hurts the lives of women and men involved with the abortion; and
WHEREAS, the more than forty pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, and
maternity homes across the state of Louisiana are working tirelessly to preserve this great
gift of life by helping both unborn children and their mothers; and
WHEREAS, over the past thirty-seven years since the United States Supreme Court
made abortion legal in Louisiana through the decision of Roe v. Wade, these agencies have
saved thousands of unborn children from abortion, and in recent years, they have helped the
annual number of abortions in Louisiana decrease; and
WHEREAS, in addition to saving unborn lives, these agencies have empowered
mothers in difficult situations by providing material and emotional support both before and
after the birth of their child and by encouraging the parents to place their child for adoption;
and
WHEREAS, these agencies have consistently offered confidential counseling to
women and men who have experienced loss through abortion; and SR NO. 105 ENROLLED

WHEREAS, these life-affirming agencies outnumber abortion facilities in Louisiana
by five to one, showing through these agencies that Louisiana is a pro-life state; and
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Choose Life license plate is an effective vehicle for
promoting the value of human life by making monetary grants available to these agencies
through the generosity of Louisiana drivers who purchase the plate; and
WHEREAS, the state's pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies, and maternity
homes merit a special measure of commendation for the services they provide in promoting
the value of human life.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana
does hereby recognize Wednesday, June 2, 2010, as Pro-Life Day at the Louisiana State
Capitol and does hereby commend the state's pregnancy resource centers, adoption agencies,
and maternity homes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
executive director of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation.
