Noel James Augustyn
Attorney at Law
Pro-Life Advocate
"As Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and their colleagues in Philadelphia well understood in 1776, there are certain human rights that are not conferred by society but, rather, by "Nature and Nature's God." Foremost among them is the right to life itself, without which no other rights, natural or civil, have meaning. I am honored to be a part of The Nurturing Network, an organization that understands and promotes the culture of life, which is the basis for any society that can be considered civilized."
