Iowa Right to Life is the state’s largest pro-life organization. Its mission is to encompass within the protection of our laws all human life, born and unborn, at all stages of biological development from fertilization to natural death.

At OLIH we join with these efforts by sponsoring parish events, joining in the Life Chain, the March for Life and prayer vigils.  Learn more  Iowa Right to Life  and InnerVisions Health

Three Times In Modern History The Word "Person" Has Been Redefined:

1857: The U.S. Supreme Court declares that African Americans are not legal persons. They are the "property" of their owners.

1936: The German Supreme Court, the Reichsgericht, refuses to recognize Jews living in Germany as persons. Genocide becomes legal.

1973: The U.S. Supreme Court rules that the unborn are not persons in the legal sense; they have no civil or human rights. The unborn are the "property" of the mother, who can "choose" to abort them up to the day of delivery."  (Justice Henry Blackmon in Roe v. Wade)
