Alongside the decisive victory of President-elect Donald Trump in the presidential race, there were glimmers of hope for the future of the pro-life movement, which has been crushed at the ballot box since the overturn of Roe v. Wade two years ago.

Trump will no doubt govern from a more pro-life posture than his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris would have done, but he infuriated some leaders and organizations in the pro-life movement with comments he made on the campaign trail in which he sought to downplay abortion as an issue and pledged to veto a national abortion ban.
