Today, the United States Supreme Court will hear Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a major pro-life case that focuses on protecting the unborn, not restricting the rights of women. Instead of prioritizing the abortion industry, we as a Nation should be focused on prioritizing the sanctity of human life. As the father to two sons, Guy and Sam, and having lost a son, Mack Wayne, at 19 weeks in the womb, I strongly believe life begins at conception and that an unborn child is a human life. Thanks to modern medical advancement, we know that: at 5 weeks, unborn babies have a heartbeat; at 10 weeks, unborn babies have developed arms and legs and fingers and toes; at 12 weeks, unborn babies feel pain; at 15 weeks, unborn babies have a fully developed heart. This landmark case gives the Supreme Court a chance to correct the mistake it made nearly 50 years ago and the opportunity to acknowledge that our Constitution does protect an unborn child's right to life. ____________________
