From the Desk of Dr. Ben Carson:

Hello,

I feel like our culture has forgotten -- or ignored -- some very important and basic lessons when it comes to the development of human life.

Our society has been infected by an anti-life ideology, treating its most vulnerable members as disposable objects. Abortion that was once thought of as a last resort in a medical emergency has become the new normal.

Medicine tells us that life begins at the moment of conception. It also tells us when an unborn baby develops a heartbeat, brainwaves, and nervous system. Yet, despite all of this, the unborn are not treated as though they are alive or even human.

As a surgeon, I have operated on infants pre-birth. I can assure you that they are very much alive.

Dr. Ben Carson, Founder and Chairman of American Cornerstone Institute

Life is a precious gift that has been given to us from our creator. No person is disposable, and every life is precious according to Him.

I believe that everyone deserves life, even those who have been denied this right by our society. I believe that together we can make a difference and bring dignity and a voice to the unborn. I also believe that I'm not alone in this belief.

I believe that you believe that too.

I've started working with a group of like-minded individuals who are looking to change our culture. We want to build a society that values life but that takes people like you and I making a commitment.

The first step is clearly stating what we believe and what we are willing to do to protect the lives of the unborn. Will you join me today and stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves?

I've created a new pro-life pledge; I'd love your support. Would you read the pledge below to see if you align with our shared goals and are willing to commit to fighting for the lives of the unborn?
