Utah Pro-Life Coalition Legislator's Reception

Thursday, May 30th, 2019 - Governor Gary Herbert hosted legislators and local elected officials for a dinner and a private showing of the movie Unplanned sponsored by the Utah Pro-life Coalition. Utah Eagle Forum and pro-life supporters from the coalition were also invited to attend the movie. 

​Before the movie, Governor Herbert addressed legislators, here are a few highlights of his remarks:

Life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is part of our Declaration. It's pretty hard to pursue life, liberty, and happiness if you are not allowed to grow and develop. That's what happens with the unborn child, and so that's the concern that we all have…What can we do to promote life and the pursuit of happiness? Not only for those who are born, but for the unborn..."

"I believe all children are gifts from our Heavenly Father.  That’s why I am pro-life. William Wordsworth summed up just how sacred life is when he said, "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting and cometh from afar…trailing clouds of glory do we come from God…"  

"I thank the Pro-Life Coalition… for what you do to safeguard and protect the lives of the unborn. Here's what I'm going to say to you today, from my own perspective, my own opinion. "What were we thinking?" (referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision)"

We would like to thank the Governor for his support and the elected leaders who came to see this important movie. It is our goal to end taxpayer funded abortions as we work toward our ultimate goal to end all abortions.
