The Women’s March Doesn’t Represent All Women, Just the Minority of Women Who Support Abortion

The Women’s March has a huge “no invite” list this year.

No women with coat hangers – because protecting women from unsafe abortions is apparently a “right wing talking point” now. All the abortion activists with coat hanger tattoos will either have to cover them up or stay home this year, less they be accused of being radical “anti-choice” zealots.

No women wearing red Handmaid’s Tale costumes either. Apparently, they are racist.

But the biggest “NO” is pro-life women.

Because the Women’s March is really a pro-abortion march and has been since it began.

The march is scheduled for Oct. 2 in Washington, D.C., with about 500 smaller marches planned on the same date across the country.

When the Women’s March began in 2016, leaders touted it as a welcoming, multi-issue event to unite all women in calling on society to support and respect their rights. However, its pro-abortion agenda quickly became clear when leaders initially welcomed and then kicked out several pro-life feminist groups because they believe unborn babies deserve rights, too.

This year, organizers are making no secret of their pro-abortion agenda. The theme is “Rally for Abortion Justice.”

“We are witnessing the most dire threat to abortion access in our lifetime,” the Women’s March website states. “That’s why we’re marching in every single state and in our nation’s capital Washington, D.C. – on October 2 before the Supreme Court reconvenes. We need to send an unmistakable message about our fierce opposition to restricting abortion access and overturning Roe v. Wade before it’s too late.”

This new pro-abortion theme is divisive and excludes millions of women who believe human rights can never include killing an unborn baby.

“In placing abortion above all else, these abortion activists quickly lose women like me – and the millions of baby girls whose lives have been lost to abortion since 1973,” Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, responded on Twitter. “Authentic women’s rights must never trample on another’s basic right to life – including that half of humanity which are female lives!”

The Texas heartbeat law is a key target of the Women’s March’s, but one recent poll actually found stronger support for pro-life heartbeat laws among women than men. Other polls have found that women are more likely than men to oppose late-term abortions, and a recent YouGov poll found that an overwhelming majority (72 percent) of young women ages 18 to 35 support at least some restrictions on abortion.

That leaves just a small fraction of women who are welcome at the Women’s March.

“Abortion extremism” would be a more accurate theme for the march, Susan B. Anthony List responded Friday. “The policies they support are far outside the mainstream of what most Americans think about this issue.”

This includes millions of pro-life women as well as millions more who are middle-of-the-road on abortion, supporting it in limited circumstances but not for any reason without limits.

The Women’s March even wants to cancel the “back alley abortion” talking point that abortion activists have been using for decades to argue that legalized abortions are necessary to protect women from dangerous self-induced abortions.

The reason? They do not want to give women the impression that “self-managed abortions are dangerous, scary and harmful” – which is exactly what they are. Radical abortion activists now are openly advocating for self-induced abortions, selling abortion drugs in the mail to women (or their abusers) – and the Biden administration is letting them do it. Abortion activists want this to become the new normal.

No voice for pro-life women. No rights for women before birth. No protections for women from dangerous DIY abortions. And no middle ground.

The Women’s March can no longer hide behind any facade of being pro-women. It is pro-abortion and pro-billion dollar abortion industry. Nothing more.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack: Doctors Told My Mom to Have an Abortion, But She Chose Life

Congresswoman Kat Cammack of Florida shared a powerful testimony in Congress yesterday as Democrats held a Congressional hearing to celebrate abortion. While the liberal media gave extensive coverage to women who bragged about ending their unborn children’s lives few media outlets have focused on Cammack and her story.

Cammack shared how her mother chose life for her against the advice of both her doctors and her family.

Cammack said her mother suffered a devastating stroke when she was pregnant with her older sister. Afterward, doctors told her mother that any future pregnancies would be extremely high risk, she said.

Years later when her mother became pregnant with her, she said her mother faced pressure from both her doctors and her family to have an abortion.

But “she did something incredible. She chose life,” Cammack said.

“You can imagine the fear, the disappointment, the struggle, the internal anguish my mother felt as doctors told her that she needed to abort her child. You can imagine the pain that she felt when her own family told her that she needed to abort her child. But because of her strength, she chose life,” Cammack said.

“That wasn’t an easy decision for a single mom, for a working-class mom. Someone herself, who had lived a life of disappointments, of struggle, addiction, and yet, despite everything she chose life,” Cammack said. “My mom survived. I survived. I am a living, breathing witness of the power of life and the incredible choice that my own mother made.”

“Knowing that you were never supposed to survive – it gives you a new perspective about life,” Cammack continued. “With her decision, we were able to go as the daughter of a single mother, from homeless to the House of Representatives. That is only possible in America. And that is only possible in an America that values life, because we are built on the premise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It begins with life.”

Because of her mother, Cammack has said she is dedicated to helping other mothers choose life for their babies. She promised to advocate for life in Congress, and she praised pro-life advocates for their courage and dedication to the unborn.

“Life is sacred. The rights of unborn children are sacred, and this movement to support the right to life is a critical one,” she said.

The congresswoman acknowledged that being pro-life is not popular or easy but it is right. She encouraged pro-lifers to keep up the fight to protect innocent children like herself who could have been aborted.

“Never lose faith. Advocates like you who don’t sit by when the rights of millions are infringed are critical to ensuring that we protect lives for years to come,” she said. “Thank you for your passion. Thank you for your conviction to do what’s right.”

Cammack, 32, is the youngest Republican woman in the U.S. House of Representatives. She represents the Third Congressional District of Florida.

Federal Judge Slams His Colleagues: “Decision to Strike Down [Pro-Life Law] on the Altar of Abortion is Wrong” State | Edward White | Oct 1, 2021 | 2:06PM | Washington, DC

Federal Judge Slams His Colleagues: “Decision to Strike Down [Pro-Life Law] on the Altar of Abortion is Wrong”

State | Edward White | Oct 1, 2021 | 2:06PM | Washington, DC

As I explained recently, the State of Tennessee passed a law limiting abortions after a baby’s heartbeat could be detected and prohibiting doctors from knowingly performing abortions that target unborn children because of their race, sex, or Down syndrome status (actual or perceived).

The law was enjoined by a federal trial judge, and a divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which governs the federal courts of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, wrongly upheld the trial court’s injunction. As I previously noted:

While the two-judge majority determined that the law’s ban on the performance of abortions based on the unborn child’s race, sex, or Down syndrome status was unconstitutionally vague, Judge Thapar dissented. He noted that the majority misapplied the governing case law and usurped the democratic process of the State of Tennessee. He correctly explained that the majority’s “decision to strike down the anti-discrimination statute at the altar of abortion is wrong.”

Last week, Tennessee filed a petition for rehearing en banc, requesting that all active judges on the Sixth Circuit review the 2-to-1 ruling that barred the implementation of the Tennessee law.

Today, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed an unopposed motion (needed to be filed at the rehearing stage) for leave to file an amicus curiae brief in support of Tennessee. The brief was submitted on behalf of the ACLJ and more than 447,000 members of the ACLJ’s Committee To Defend Pro-Life Laws and Babies with Disabilities.

The ACLJ urged the Sixth Circuit to reconsider the 2-to-1 ruling. The ACLJ explained that the court should grant en banc review (1) to maintain uniformity of its case law since the Tennessee statute in question is virtually identical to an Ohio statute (also prohibiting Down-syndrome-selective abortions) that the Sixth Circuit ruled constitutional earlier this year (a case the ACLJ also filed an amicus brief in), and (2) to consider the impact the injunction against the Tennessee law will have on pre-born children, specifically those with Down syndrome, who face death through selective abortion despite the legal protection they have in every other aspect of their lives.

We explain that Tennessee should be allowed to protect all persons within its borders, born and pre-born, from disability-, race-, or gender-based discrimination. Permitting such discriminatory abortions revives discredited and dangerous eugenic practices, gravely damages the principle of equal treatment under the law, and undermines the value of human life. The law Tennessee passed to stop those abortion practices is constitutional and should be upheld.

The Sixth Circuit will decide whether to grant Tennessee’s petition for rehearing en banc in the coming weeks. If the court does not grant the petition, it is likely Tennessee will seek review by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The ACLJ will continue to monitor this case and stands ready to file additional briefs as it moves forward.
