MARCH FOR LIFE 2020 THEMEāLIFE EMPOWERS: PRO-LIFE IS PRO-WOMAN
Feminists have always maintained they fight to make life better for women. Many think that includes insuring to right to abort unborn children. The next national March for Life will attack the very heart of that idea.
As they announced the theme for the January 24, 2020 march in Washington DC, a panel of pro-life women on Capitol Hill discussed suffragists and what many consider was just a struggle for womenās right to vote.
Not so, according to March for Life President Jeanne Mancini. She told CBN News, āThis is the 100th centennial of a womanās right to vote this year. And so our theme is very much related to that. So itās āLife Empowers: Pro-Life is Pro-Woman.'ā
You might wonder what the right to vote has to do with the right to life. A hundred years ago, feminists and suffragists understood instinctively that the two are both powerful and necessary. Women needed the protection that came from the power to vote in our republic. And they needed protection for the little unborn lives that only they could nurture and bring into the world.
So, as Mancini put it, āTo be pro-woman was to be pro-life.ā
Serrin Foster heads up Feminists for Life. She explained, āWhat most people donāt understand is that the first wave feminists were, without known exception, all pro-life. They believed in the rights of slaves to be free, the right of women to vote, and they believed in the right of women and children to be protected from abortion.ā
Gloria Purvis hosts the EWTN program āMorning Glory.ā On this March for Life panel, she addressed todayās radical feminism.
āWe hear a lot of lies, particularly about African-American women that itās better and more empowering for African-American women who are poor and struggling to abort their children,ā Purvis told CBN News. āAnd Iām here to say thatās absolutely a lie. The way to solve poverty is not killing the poor, but supporting the poor.ā
Thatās why pro-life groups like Fosterās Feminists for Life fight to solve the problems women often feel force them to abort their babies.
āTo try to make life better for those at highest risk, who are most overwhelmingly the poorest among us,ā Foster explained.
And Mancini hopes to empower women to fight the idea that feminism is all about the right to abortion.
āAnd show clarity, show truth, and hopefully, lead the culture to a place where abortion is unthinkable,ā she concluded.

Father in heaven,
Open the hearts and minds of the people everywhere before it is too late. I pray that doctors and nurses everywhere will take notice of this issue that could undermine trust in medical professionals.
I pray that our vision will overlook shame or population size and protect babies in the womb.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
I love the slogan: āTo be pro-woman is to be pro-life.ā So TRUE!
My daughter and her husband were fortunate enough to adopt a little baby boy two years agoāWhat joy that little boy has brought to our family! We thank GOD for him and for his young teenage mother who brought him into the world; she visits him on his birthdays. This wonderful living, loving, smiling baby is the most miraculous answer to prayer for all concerned.
