Warsaw, IN. – Today, the Kosciusko County Board of Commissioners unanimously declared Kosciusko County to be a pro-life county by passing a resolution in support of human life. The resolution affirms the right to life found in the Declaration of Independence and states “human life begins at the moment of conception and continues, uninterrupted, until the moment of natural death.”
The resolution encourages, “assistance for women by helping them find health care; helping mothers and fathers who make the decision to parent their child; supporting mothers and fathers who make an adoption plan for their baby and couples who seek to adopt; and encouraging businesses and schools to provide appropriate accommodations for pregnant women.” It also petitions leaders at higher levels of government to protect life, urging government to “use every legal means to protect and fight for every human life, including the lives of unborn boys and girls.”
The Kosciusko County resolution follows similar resolutions which were passed in Allen County and Indiana cities: Huntertown, Woodburn and New Haven.
“We want to thank the Board of Commissioners for their leadership in encouraging the protection of all human life,” said Dave Koontz, Executive Director of Right to Life of North Central Indiana. “This resolution affirms that Kosciusko County encourages the support for women in difficult circumstances and is a reminder that there are always ways to support and love both the mother and baby. The passing of this resolution should also be an example to other north central Indiana counties to follow.”
