The issue is bigger than abortion. The issue is freedom. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States of America said, “We recognize the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child. That right necessarily includes the right of a woman to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” We, the undersigned observe the 12th anniversary of this decision and affirm our dedication to the principles upon which this decision is based. We deplore the current reign of terror and violence against clinics providing family planning and abortion services. Those responsible for the violence are working outside our country’s legislative system to achieve their political goals. We, the undersigned pledge to work within the American democratic system to protect the Constitutional rights of women to obtain legal and safe abortion without fear of harassment or injury.
