Standing up for life: Why America's quest for equality should include unborn children
Equality is not a concept that can be applied only to certain groups of people; it belongs to everyone or to no one.
From the halls of Congress to dining room tables in the heartland, Americans have been discussing the meaning of equality. The term is often invoked but rarely defined in contemporary debates about the COVID-19 pandemic, racial justice protests and many other subjects.
Such discussions are crucial for the health of America, but they lack a critical element. While nearly everyone agrees that equality is important, there is little agreement on what it means and how it should be applied to important policy questions.
That is why March for Life has selected "Equality Begins in the Womb" as the theme for the 49th annual March for Life. We want to expand the debate about equality to include unborn babies, who are often overlooked because they cannot speak for themselves.
