Today was the day of the March for Life, which should be known to Pro Lifer's. Trump has done/said several things with respect to the Pro Life movement this week. If you are a Pro Lifer, how do you feel about what Trump has done/said this week?
I used to attend that rally every year as a kid, bussed in from NJ with my Pentecostal church/school, so I tend to follow this rally with some interest. It was a major event for them to have the Vice President speak, and it's a little curious that it hasn't happened before.
As a pro-choice with conditions advocate, a health care provider, and a pragmatist, I was disappointed with his action on the Global Gag Rule, and with the administration's characterization of what it would accomplish. People who support these policies don't need feel-good fluff; they need to be told precisely what they accomplish, and what the net results look like, historically, when they're enacted.
Pro-lifers what to end abortion. Logic would follow that they want to reduce the number of abortions as long as they remain legal. Policies that produce a net increase in abortion, and human suffering, need to be fleshed out and debated honestly, and it does a disservice to everyone who cares about the issue to mislead people as to what the policy actually accomplishes.
