Reagan on God, Abortion, and Healthcare

“Life and the preservation of freedom to live it in dignity is what we are on this Earth to do.”

October 24, 1985

“It is on this that I believe our nations can make a renewed commitment. The miracle of life is given by One greater than ourselves, but once given, each life is ours to nurture and preserve, to foster, not only for today's world but for a better one to come. There is no purpose more noble than for us to sustain and celebrate life in a turbulent world, and that is what we must do now. We have no higher duty, no greater cause as humans. Life and the preservation of freedom to live it in dignity is what we are on this Earth to do.”

— Address to the 40th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York
