Every human being is made in the image and likeness of God. Every human being deserves the law’s protection. That has to be a bedrock principle for the pro-life party. For a party that claims to be pro-life, what we’re currently seeing is the possibility of the party that historically was pro-life just becoming “not quite as pro-choice.” Pro-lifers need to insist on not being cheap dates.
The pro-life cause cannot just be an appendage of the Republican Party. Pro-lifers need to insist on our political leaders to show courage in advocating for the truth, even if we can’t currently enact all of the truth into law. We can be incrementalist, we can be prudent. We can be pragmatic without undermining the ultimate goal of the pro-life cause.
