This black history month, the greatest obstacle to liberty is abortion.

Black history month began as a celebration of two great fighters for freedom: Abraham Lincoln, born on Feb. 12, and Frederick Douglass, born on Feb. 14. These men — an impoverished carpenter’s son and escaped slave — fought for every American’s rights to life and liberty. But today, those rights are threatened again by abortion. The legacy of Douglass and Lincoln is not complete until we put an end to abortion in this country once and for all.
