The pro-life movement in America has found its new target – Millennials – and is confident that it can win it, according to those participating in the panel “The Pro-Life Fight: 40 Years After Roe v. Wade” during CPAC on Friday.
According to Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), America’s youth is the most important tool for the pro-life movement.
“I am lifted up every single day by the young people that are willing to give the sanctity of life and the pro-life movement a voice,” Wagner said during the panel.
Tim Goeglein, Vice President of Focus on the Family, added that he was astonished by how many young people traveled all the way to Washington, D.C. for March for Life this year.
“It is amazing the number of young people who come,” he said. “They are motivated by the social justice aspect of the pro-life movement.”
He added: “I think it’s the reason why Roe will eventually be overturned.”
Even ultrasounds, which have historically been the key instrument in spreading the pro-life movement throughout the United States, are being modernized for America’s youth. Interested individuals can now download an app to their smartphone that allows them to see and hear their baby’s ultrasound.
Goeglein said he has hopes “that the pro-life movement gets younger and it gets larger.”
The panel also discussed how important it is for women to become involved in the pro-life movement, and how the issue could be winnable with the fairer sex if we stopped allowing the left to dominate the message. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, noted how the left’s ‘War on Women’ effectively “allowed the other side to define women’s health.”
Added Wagner: “Obama is the one waging the war on women.”
