ATLANTA - Perhaps more than any other woman, Marjorie Dannenfelser is responsible for the fall of Roe vs. Wade.
The president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a nonprofit group that works to end abortion in the United States by electing antiabortion politicians, Dannenfelser has dedicated her adult life to outlawing abortion. In 2016, she played a key role in getting President Trump to commit to appoint U.S. Supreme Court justices who oppose abortion.
The Los Angeles Times asked Dannenfelser, 56, about the fall of Roe, her antiabortion journey and her strategy for outlawing abortion nationwide. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
After decades working in antiabortion politics, you are watching Roe vs. Wade fall. In what sense is this a historic moment?
It’s the culmination of almost 50 years of work. There was no certainty that this moment would come at all. But every single time there’s a failure or a setback, this movement has grown. And that is a marker of an authentic human rights movement: It draws more in difficulty than it does in success sometimes.
You’ve written: “No other issue, however worthy, carries a moral weight equal to that of the unborn child in the womb.” How did you get from being a pro-choice Republican to believing that abortion is about human rights, not women’s rights?
I grew up in fairly polite society. You just didn’t think or talk about this issue. I think that polite society has kept the harsh reality of that human rights violation away from the public eye and from one individually. So I never thought about it. I knew that I would have [an abortion] if I needed one. I just considered it part of living.

Might come into conflict with open borders for the United States.
Who arranged her intro to POTUS I wonder?
According to her, she was minding her own business when out of the blue she got a letter from Trump, which she initially disregarded because she thought he would lose. This is not the person responsible for planting a big fat landmine in the middle of November. So who dunnit?
She was on Tucker last night and was very good.
Certainly the momentum is on the side of the pro-life movement. Blue states with Wanton Kill abortion laws are going to have to go into defense mode.
Very impressive lady. Well thought out, IMHO.
You Go Girl !
She’s a sweetheart. I met her a few times out in DC at events.
