The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a draft of its
new strategic plan for 2018-2022, and with the addition of a few small words, it’s clear that there is a major change.
Formerly, the document stated the following in its introductory information:
HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving Americans at every stage of life.
The new edition now
states this:
HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving and protecting Americans at every stage of life, beginning at conception.
The change might be five little words, but its meaning is deep. It signifies that at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services knows and accepts the truth, that life begins at conception (fertilization).
Pro-life activists have said it for decades,
scientists have proved it, and
abortion supporters have denied and flat-out ignored it, but it’s true: life begins the moment a new human life is created – at
fertilization. HHS is committed to protecting those lives.
