Proclamation of the Mayor
The Scantily of Life
Whereas, on January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued the first Presidential Proclamation
regarding the sanctity of human life and designated the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day;
and
Whereas, our Founding Fathers inscribed into the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness;" and
without life there is no liberty or happiness; and
Whereas, every person, the born and the unborn, the poor and the downcast, the disabled, the
infirm, and the elderly all have inherent value and no life is inconsequential or without worth; and
Whereas, The City of Twin Falls adopted a neighborly city resolution that calls for all to accept and
respect the dignity and worth of every life, and the City of Twin Falls is committed to protecting life every day.
Now therefore, I Suzanne Hawkins, Mayor of the City of Twin Falls, do hereby call on all citizens of
the City of Twin Falls to, civilly and legally, protect and defend the dignity of every human life,
including those not yet born, and to care for women in unexpected pregnancies and to support
adoption and foster care in a meaningful way. Further, I invite all citizens who believe in prayer to
join on March 1, 2020, to pray for our City, State, and Nation.
