According to Dr. Alveda King, niece of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the right to life is the first civil right guaranteed to all Americans.
“Ever American is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she says. “The first gift the Lord gives us is our lives. Life is our first civil right.”
She believes her uncle, who advocated “a beloved community,” would agree.
“We must include the unborn in all the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and we will always say with the Scriptures, ‘Beloved, let us love one another,’ and that includes the little babies.”
Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, and I agree that the dream of Dr. King includes all the children God has given us, born and unborn.
