In the context of the drive to national prohibition of baby murder this is a small, mostly symbolic effort toward the goal that provides a modest amount of encouragement to pro-lifers.

But, absent the commitment to overturn Roe and legislate sharp and meaningful restrictions on abortion, this would be an insult to the young pro-lifers I know. By itself, this is less than crumbs.

It is we pro-lifers who are slowly, painfully, inch-by-inch, trying to create a pro-life culture, with little or no help from church hierarchies, and little help, and very often, great hindrance from “conservative” politicos. Every gain we’ve obtained with assistance of politicians has been grudging from their hands. Many young pro-lifers are willing to say, yeah, we’re not going to overturn Roe, so why are we any longer allied with these morally-compromised, venal, cowardly, smelly old conservatives anymore in the first place?

And posters here who say, “Roe won’t be overturned, so suck it up, pro-lifers,” validate the alienation many young pro-lifers feel from the Republican and conservative causes.
