International Women’s Day may be coming to a close, but we are thankful for the strong, brave women who stand for life…

In fact, a recent Marist poll revealed that 82% of women would restrict abortion to – at most – the first three months of pregnancy.

Furthermore, 79 percent of women say that laws can protect both a mother and her unborn child, and a majority of women (56%) agree that abortion ultimately does a woman more harm than good.

Despite the media narrative, it appears that a majority of women believe that being pro-life and pro-woman go hand-in-hand!

During Women’s History Month, it’s especially important to not only recognize pro-life women, but to remember that the leaders in the movement for women’s rights in the United States also believed that abortion was bad for women.

Among others, these women include Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul, who said “abortion is the greatest exploitation of women.”

Fact check for Hillary: 80% of Americans are Opposed to Unrestricted Abortion Access

 

Hillary Clinton was pressed Monday evening over her support for late-term abortions during a Fox News town hall. Host Bret Baier asked the Democratic front-runner about her position on the controversial procedure. “Do you think a child should have any legal rights or protections before its born? Or do you think there should not be any restrictions on any abortions at any stage in a pregnancy?” he asked. “Under Roe v. Wade, which is rooted in the Constitution, women have this right to make this highly personal decision with their family in accordance with their faith, with their doctor,” Clinton responded. She added, “It’s not much of a right if it is totally limited and constrained.”

“This position is radically out of touch with the American people,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education & Defense Fund. “A Marist poll released in mid-January revealed that 8 out of 10 Americans – 80 percent — would restrict abortion, at most, to the first three months of pregnancy. Mrs. Clinton is not alone in assuming such extreme views. A number of months ago a reporter asked Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she would support aborting a seven pound unborn baby. She replied that she does not support any limits on abortion; in other words, ‘yes.’”

“In days past abortion advocates used the phrase ‘safe, legal and rare,’” Mrs. Mancini added. “President Clinton used this term when referring to general policy but today the new normal is abortion, without limits, on demand. This is a significant tactical change. No longer are the pro-abortion forces feigning to be concerned for the mother or the child. There are few doctors in America who would recommend a woman have an abortion within days of birth. The trauma to the mother and the death of a fully viable fetus would be dangerous and deadly.”

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.

Abortion proponents should care about safety if they are truly pro-woman

 

March for Life President Jeanne Manicini analyzes the Supreme Court’s hearing of Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt in the Hill —>

This week the Supreme Court will hear one of the most monumental cases regarding abortion and women’s health since Roe v. Wade. On the docket is Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt where the Court will weigh in on the constitutionality of health regulations for abortion clinics. The case seemingly pits the pro-life and pro-choice camps against one another, but a closer look at the facts reveal that the Texas law under scrutiny is in the best interest of women’s health.

Abortion Proponents Should Care About Safety If They Are Truly Pro-Woman
Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, March 2, the Supreme Court will decide on Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. This case centers on Texas’s restrictions on abortion clinics, which were upheld by the Fifth Circuit court. The March for Life Education and Defense fund is urging the court to uphold the Fifth Circuit Court’s decision so that abortion clinics are upheld to the same standards as other surgical outpatient clinics.

“For years, beauty parlors, public pools and veterinary clinics were held to higher levels of regulatory oversight than abortion clinics in most states. It is only after women suffered terrible health consequences, including death, at the hands of poorly-regulated abortion clinics that states like Texas have since passed laws raising the health standards of these facilities.”

“As the head of a pro-life organization formed after Roe v Wade to oppose abortion and build a culture of life, my sincere hope is that no woman will step foot in an abortion facility in her own best interest as well as that of her baby. But until that day, can’t we agree that abortion facilities should be held to the same safety standards as other surgical outpatient centers? Abortion proponents should care about safety, if they are truly pro-woman.”
