Un discurs mişcător rostit de preşedintele SUA, Ronald Reagan, la 14 ianuarie 1988. Anunţând că a decretat ziua de 17 ianuarie a acelui an drept Ziua Naţională a Sanctităţii Vieţii Umane, Preşedintele a vorbit în apărarea vieţilor pierdute prin avort, astfel:
I know what I’m about to say is controversial. But I have to say it.
This nation cannot continue turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the taking of some 4,000 unborn children’s lives every day. One every 21 seconds. We cannot pretend that America is preserving her first and highest ideals, the belief that each life is sacred, when we’ve permitted the deaths of fifteen million helpless innocents.
