“The antiabortion movement is turning on Trump,” was a headline that ran in The Wall Street Journal this week.
Pro-life groups, including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, are frustrated with President Trump, as the article detailed, because his administration’s policy allows states (and thereby their residents) to decide abortion policy. Total abortions in the U.S. have slightly increased since the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, despite widespread state bans.
“Trump is the problem. The president is the problem,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony, told The Journal.
No, Marjorie. President Trump is not the problem. He has been the most pro-life president in history...
The pro-life movement’s problem is that it didn’t have a game plan after the fall of Roe to win over the hearts and minds of voters in 30 states and the District of Columbia that have legalized abortion. Yes, a national strategy is easier for these nonprofits to organize around, but a grassroots effort is needed to effectuate change at the state level.
This month, Rep. Brandon Gill, Texas Republican, gave a master class on exactly how you do this in a congressional hearing on the FACE Act with an abortion activist. He questioned the activist on her preferred method of abortion, to which she replied she didn’t have one...
As Mr. Gill, in a painful and clinical manner, described each method to the activist, she became visibly irritated and tried to redirect the conversation to another topic...
Mr. Gill pressed further, asking the abortion advocate whether she agreed that each abortion method sounded “pretty gruesome.” Mr. Gill didn’t allow her to hide behind the euphemism of health care ...This is how you win voters’ hearts and minds...

Still waiting for the Journal to run a headline about a pro-choice group being “anti-life”.
The pro-life movement has a lot of problems. The top 4 parties want nothing to do with them.
Nowhere does the Constitution delegate regulating abortion to the feds.
Abortion is, therefore, a state, not federal, issue.
It is not the administration’s policy that made abortion a matter for the states to decide, but the Constitution, affirmed by the Supreme Court. How stupid can you be? To outlaw abortion nationally would require a Constitutional amendment, just as making it nationally legal would.
DUH!
It's been kicked down TO the states already!
It depends on if you think that killing the baby is killing a human.
The movement destroyed its credibility when it immediately turned around and tried to make it a federal matter.
Too many of these groups were exposed as ineffective clowns when they had no ground game in place to fight this battle at the state level after Roe was overturned.
I can see that to be the case for some, especially those in the abolitionist fringe. To them, no victory is ever enough. Anyone not holding their exact position is a heretic.
I passed an abolitionist on a streetcorner once and told him I agreed with his Pro-Life cause. He yelled at me for continuing to walk on and not stop, quit my job and join him.
Abolitionist? You reject the pro-life label for pro-life people?
