** Pro-life Persuasion and Leadership
------------------------------------------------------------
Less than two years after the generational victory of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the pro-life movement is facing generational catastrophe.
Nathanael Blake
Catholic World Report
Pro-lifers are used to Republican politicians stabbing us in the back. Donald Trump has stabbed us in the front.
It is not an improvement.
Less than two years after the generational victory of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the pro-life movement is facing generational catastrophe. The crisis is not that we have lost a series of ballot initiates to the pro-abortion side (bad as those losses are), but that the Republican presidential nominee is openly abandoning and sabotaging the pro-life cause. Rather than cashing out after their unexpected wins at the Trump political casino, pro-life Republicans largely doubled-down and backed him for 2024. Now, pro-lifers might lose the Republican Party.
Trump sees being pro-life as a political liability. He therefore wants to assuage the concerns of pro-abortion swing voters—while also keeping pro-lifers in his camp by pointing to the pro-abortion extremism of Joe Biden and the Democrats. There may be some political cunning in this, as illustrated by my EPPC colleague Henry Olsen’s sobering analysis of what it will take for pro-lifers to win in Florida’s upcoming referendum on abortion. Olsen, a shrewd political observer, describes a distressingly pro-abortion public.
