Ahead of March for Life, Leading Pro-Life Org Lays Out Political Plan

“Women should never feel the pressure to abort their child due to circumstances out of their control. There are nearly 3,000 pregnancy centers nationwide along with other life-affirming resources that stand ready to help women and families facing an unplanned pregnancy receive the critical care they deserve,” SBA-Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser stated earlier than the convention.

“In this Dobbs era, the Democrats and abortion lobby have made it clear they have ditched ‘pro-choice,’ and instead have become ‘pro-abortion,’ advocating for unlimited abortion on demand,” Dannenfelser continued. “That is why it is imperative we have a National Defender of Life who exposes the Democrat’s and abortion lobby’s extreme abortion agenda and contrasts that with the compassionate needs of women and their children.”

State Affairs Communications Director, Kelsey Pritchard, laid out a number of legislative priorities for the group going ahead — priorities which might undoubtedly problem the left-wing narrative that pro-lifers are solely “pro-birth” and work in opposition to ladies’s pursuits. 

“[W]e will continue to advocate for more funding for pregnancy centers and for establishing or expanding tax credits for individuals and businesses that donate to pregnancy centers,” Pritchard stated. 

Democrats and pro-abortion organizations have been targeting being pregnant useful resource facilities — which don’t provide abortions and are sometimes faith-based — as “fake clinics,” with a number of states attempting to crack down on them for supposed “deceptive practices.” At the identical time, many Republican-led states have elevated funding to those sorts of organizations, particularly as lawmakers move laws limiting abortion.

“These centers really empower women to make a real choice. They help women by providing free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, medical exams, parenting classes, items like food, diapers, clothing, financial assistance for housing,” Pritchard famous. 

SBA Pro-Life America additionally plans to advocate for “tax credit or deduction for unborn children, allowing moms to collect child support starting when they are pregnant,” in addition to eliminating gross sales tax on child objects like diapers and formulation.

“Secondly, we are supportive of more childcare solutions. The childcare situation in this country causes a great deal amount of stress for parents who need not only quality childcare and parent and teachers and caregivers they can trust, but affordable childcare,” Pritchard added.

“And so we support funding for childcare and expanding access to childcare with a tax credit for businesses that start daycares for employees,” she continued.

The group moreover plans to foyer for “adoption policies in the states for establishing a package of services and support for birth moms and for establishing protections from online scams that target birth mothers and hopeful-adoptive parents.”

“Again, this year we’ll be advocating for Safe Haven Baby Box legislation that establishes another lifesaving option, and for establishing funding to promote baby boxes so people know that they exist,” Pritchard added. 

The pro-woman, pro-family priorities come forward of extremely consequential Supreme Court choices, a presidential election, and pro-abortion organizations’ attempt to execute a state-by-state takeover through abortion poll measures.
