Post-Roe, Why We Still March for Life

Friday marks the 50th annual March for Lifein Washington, D.C.

For 49 years, Americans from across the country have traveled to the nation’s capital and called for the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision to be overturned.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been relegated to the ash heap of history, it’s understandable to ask, “Why are we still marching?” The short answer: Babies’ lives are still being ended in the womb every day.

The joy of Roe v. Wade being overturned cannot be overstated. The Catholic News Agency reported in October that already 10,000 lives have been saved because of the high court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The lives saved are both something to celebrate and a reminder that the pro-life movement’s work is far from over.

Americans in every state across the country—and their elected leaders—now have the power to choose whether they will protect the most vulnerable through laws banning—or at least restricting—abortion. Already, about a dozen states have made the choiceto protect life beginning at conception, and the pro-life movement will continue its work until every state in America has similar laws on its books.

Instead of marching to the Supreme Court on Friday, the crowd of pro-life advocates will march from the National Mall to the U.S. Capitol building to remind their elected leaders that it is now their responsibility to be a voice for those who have none….

Thr March for life goes on. This 50 year anniversary of the crime of legalized mass baby killing has a great victory to celebrate. There is much work to be done.

 

The match goes on. Much friendly persuasion needs to be done still. Plenty of science to be appealed to. Most Americans prefer some limits on abortion so where we can’t end it we should push for those consensus limits

 

Should really rename this the March for Fetuses. It's a far more accurate term that describes what is actually being fought for than calling it a march for "life". We all know Pro-Life comes with a large amount of exceptions, exclusions, and restrictions.

 

Sooooo what is the cost?
Maternal mortality pre and post Legalisation

When it is your cousin, your sister, your mother - what will you say then?

 

Thread win

 

That has more to do with modern science advances and medical technology and not with the ability to execute or murder one’s own child with assistance from others…

 

Not in any way shape or form. Letting a baby boy or girl be born alive is pro life. Human life

 

Not that precipitous drop. Illegal abortion accounts for a lot but so does giving the medical fraternity and the mother the freedom to decide when pregnancy is life threatening.

Think on this - if abortion remains legal then there is control over who how and why. Once it is illegal - well the best example was Kermit Gosnell who was operating without any government oversight

 

Is it?

Sister Joan is a Catholic nun. She is right - if you enact this where is the funding for the extra babies, most of whom will be born into abject poverty

 

You couldn’t give a rats ass about any newborn.

 

So you don’t want it left us the states?

Are you telling everyone you and these people lied?
No — tell me it isn’t true!

 

I opposed Roe because it was a bad decision that wilfully disregarded the constitution. I am supportive of abortion being available.

The two are entirely different issues.

 

So you want govt more involved? And here I thought conservatives wanted less govt involvement. Heh.

 

Well it makes sense that it goes on because abortion hasn't been banned.

And some places it's actually more legal than it was before. The repeal of roe v Wade just placed it back with the states to decide and didn't ban or supported her do anything else than that.

 

I would say pro fetus doesn't make sense. Because they're not supporting the fetuses right to fetus there's supporting the fetuses Right to Life. So the March for Life makes sense.

 

10,000 unwanted "babies" have been saved for unloved lives of poverty and misery. then they will die anyway. the system works. for you, so continue your meddling into other people's lives by "virtue signaling" at capital buildings.

 

what part of the constitution did roe vs wade violate?

 

Life is far to encompassing to be an accurate description of what these folks are actually marching for because it usually doesn't extend beyond the very specific circumstances in the abortion debate. Perhaps March For Birth is the best term then. We know Pro-Lifers don't usually give a crap after birth and that one of their excluding factors is location. A born child from Mexico has a far lower right to life than an American fetus.

I've watched this play out for 23 years. Once you go beyond the abortion debate, Pro-Life peters out like the top floor water faucet of an old house.

 

When you terminate a pregnancy is the goal to keep the fetus alive or the opposite of that?

 

We all know what happens in an abortion. That's why the it should be March For Birth. Because once the birth happens, the caring stops. Birth is the outcome they want. Some of them would even prefer a fetus be born dead than aborted.

 

So March for Life makes sense.

no march for Life is a better description. Not sure if you realize this but abortion occurs before birth and that's what they want to reduce.

Show.

Show this.

 

Please make abortion the biggest political issue.

As a liberal, i am begging you guys, make the next election about abortion.

 

It doesn't, as I've said, and I've explained why already.

Which is why birth is the outcome they want. The life that child may have after birth is not of their concern. It's too expensive, or it's not their problem, or it's the parent's responsibility, they're not from here, etc etc. I would encourage you to take a step outside of the right-wing bubble and look at this from a more objective position. You can be both anti-abortion and aware of the fact that Pro-Life as a movement is concerned with birth only.

Find any pro-lifer who does not support exceptions to abortion bans. They're out there. Some of them are even in government.

 

Nope, it's pro-birth at best. Being Pro-Life means being far more indiscriminate about the life you claim to care about than the very limited scope the Pro-Life position does.

If you want to call yourself Pro-Birth or Anti-Abortion, that's fine. Calling it Pro-Life is just dishonest virtue signaling.
