The Question ‘Pro-Lifers’ Refuse to Answer
The March for Life protesters refuse to face the realities of abortion
Thousands of people descended on Washington, D.C., on Friday to protest the Roe v. Wade anniversary and hear Donald Trump voice his support for anti-abortion legislation.
“Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House,” said Trump, who is the first president to ever address the anti-abortion march. “When it comes to abortion… Democrats have embraced the most radical and extreme positions.” Following his speech, Trump was greeted to chants of “four more years.”
Yet what the march failed to acknowledge — and what anti-abortion activists always fail to acknowledge — is that their views are being increasingly minimized. Support for legal abortion is at an all-time high, despite Republican efforts to quash access to the procedure, and the pro-choice Women’s March was the largest protest in American history.
We also know that banning abortions won’t actually stop people from having them; it just makes desperate women seek more dangerous options.
