Governor Ron DeSantis has written a proclamation extending his support to all observing October 6, 2024, as Respect & Protect Life Sunday in Florida!
The letter Reads:
WHEREAS, all lives, born and unborn, are a valuable gift from God and are worthy of our protection;
WHEREAS, since the very beginning of our country, our founders declared that all Americans are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and that among those are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; and
WHEREAS, the State of Florida is committed to welcoming and supporting parents and families as they raise children; and
WHEREAS, in 2021, as a way to care for all life, Governor Ron Desantis and First Lady Casey Desantis launched Hope Florida, which serves as a connection point for community collaboration between the public and private sectors, faith-based communities, and nonprofits to serve vulnerable mothers, children, and families; and
WHEREAS, for generations, we have set aside days for prayer and fasting to thank God for our many blessings and to ask for his favor on pivotal issues facing our county and state; and
WHEREAS, on this Protect Life Sunday, as we gather with one voice, we pray that Florida would continue to lead the way to protect, support, and value innocent life at all stages, especially the unborn.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ron Desantis, Governor of the State of Florida, do hereby extend my support to all observing October 6, 2024, as Protect Life Sunday in Florida.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Florida to be
5th affixed at Tallahassee, the Capital, this day of October, in the year two
thousand twenty-four.
Ron DeSantis
GOVERNOR
