Fifty years after delivering his iconic, "I Have a Dream" speech, our nation rightly pauses to reflect upon the legacy of Civil Rights pioneer, the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King's dream was an America where every person was treated with equal dignity, respect, and honor. Fifty years later, Dr. King's dream is still very much a work in process, particularly for our most vulnerable citizens--women facing unexpected pregnancies and their precious, unborn children.
Fifty years after the March on Washington, and 40 years after Roe v. Wade, Heartbeat International and our worldwide network of 1,800 life-affirming pregnancy help locations work hand-in-hand to keep Dr. King's dream alive. Until we see the day where abortion is unwanted and unthinkable for generations to come, Dr. King’s avowal, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” is still a dream deferred.
