Townhall.com recently published an op-ed by March for Life Assistant Director Bethany Peck entitled “Categorizing Women Who Seek Abortions as Criminals is not Pro-Woman.”

Each year on a bitter cold and somber day in our Nation’s Capital, the March for Life leads throngs of passionate pro-life Americans up Capitol Hill and to the Supreme Court. The site is where the March for Life began – in 1973, the Court issued its Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions, legalizing abortion on demand in the United States. We have been marching and working towards a reversal and a culture of life ever since.

When the mostly millennial crowd makes it to the Supreme Court at the conclusion of the March for Life – this past year as a historic blizzard was beginning – they come to witness the moving and heart-rending stories of women who regret their abortions. These women bravely share about the pain, heartbreak, emotional, mental, and even physical suffering from one or more abortions. They are a small sample of the millions of women who suffer in silence from the pain of abortion.

March for Life Vice President Tom McClusky in the American Thinker

 

March for Life President Vice President of Government Affairs Tom McClusky had an op-ed published in the American Thinker providing an in-depth analysis of the significance of the Supreme Court vacancy.

Oblique_facade_2,_US_Supreme_CourtPresident Obama and his allies insist on installing his nominee on the Supreme Court before he leaves office. If President Obama’s nominee were to be confirmed, it would be a huge victory for the pro-abortion side, and a huge loss for unborn lives. Letting President Obama flip Justice Scalia’s vote would open the door for partial-birth abortion to be legal (Justice Scalia’s fifth vote in Gonzales v. Carhart) and allow for state and federal governments to force individuals as well as churches to pay for abortions and drugs that act as abortifacients. Do you believe that parents should be notified if their thirteen-year-old daughter is considering an abortion? Or perhaps you believe that a newborn baby that survives an abortion should get medical attention? This president and his allies disagree with all of these proposals and would only accept a Supreme Court nominee who agrees with them, not you, on what is extreme.

Those Who Choose Abortion Can Consider Paths to Healing, Not Punishment
Washington, D.C. – Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, who just last night confirmed that he had “evolved” on the issue of abortion and is now pro-life, managed to upset both pro-lifers and abortion supporters with his comments that women who have abortions should face “some form of punishment” if abortion were to be banned in the United States.

“Mr. Trump’s comment today is completely out of touch with the pro-life movement and even more with women who have chosen such a sad thing as abortion,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. “Being pro-life means wanting what is best for the mother and the baby. Women who choose abortion often do so in desperation and then deeply regret such a decision. No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen abortion. This is against the very nature of what we are about. We invite a woman who has gone down this route to consider paths to healing, not punishment.”

The March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world.  The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, abortion.

FDA Puts Access to Abortion over Women’s Health

Adverse Events Reports Related to Chemical Abortion Drug Must Be Released
Washington, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration has revised its guidelines for the abortion-inducing drug Mifeprex — widely known as RU-486 — expanding its use to 70 days of gestation, while recommending lower doses. The revisions are expected to affect several states that have passed laws restricting medication abortion.

“Today the Food and Drug Administration put access to abortion over and above women’s health by extending the use of chemical abortion to two months,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education & Defense Fund. “RU-486 (chemical abortion) is harder on women physically and involves less medical oversight than surgical abortion. The March for Life calls on the FDA to release the latest adverse events reports related to RU-486, showing the number of complications and deaths related to this drug that was approved in a rushed, politicized fashion back in 2000.”
