Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization Ruling<\/h3>\n<p>The Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Dobbs\u202fv.\u202fJackson Women\u2019s Health Organization\u202fmarked\u202fthe biggest victory for the pro-life movement in\u202fthe past 50 years. The ruling that struck down\u202fRoe v. Wade\u202fwas also a loss\u202ffor the nation\u2019s largest\u202fabortion provider, Planned Parenthood. But to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-cant-be-pro-life-and-anti-law-and-order\/\" title=\"Pro-life requires law and order.\">continue scoring pro-life victories<\/a>, the movement needs to advocate for life at all stages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Defunding the Police and the Pro-Life Ethic<\/h3>\n<p>Planned Parenthood\u2019s support for\u202fdefunding\u202fthe police should make\u202fconservatives expand their vision of a comprehensive \u201cwomb-to-tomb\u201d pro-life ethic.\u202fThe maintenance of law and order should be seen as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-leaders-to-meet-with-trump-on-agenda\/\" title=\"GOP Leaders to Meet With Trump on Agenda\">pro-life issue<\/a>\u202fbecause allowing lawlessness and disorder to spread costs\u202flives.<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact of Gang Violence on Communities<\/h3>\n<p>The average American is appalled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/radical-san-francisco-da-prosecuted-just-3-drug-cases-in-2021-0-involving-fentanyl\/\" title=\"Radical San Francisco DA Prosecuted Just 3 Drug Cases in 2021, 0 Involving Fentanyl\">open-air drug markets<\/a> in San Francisco or teenagers causing chaos in downtown Chicago. But the arrests of more than 30 alleged\u202fgang members\u202fin South Jamaica, Queens, demonstrate\u202fhow much violent crime affects the lives of people far from a city\u2019s high-end retail corridors.\u202f <\/p>\n<p>The gang takedown last month was the result of a lengthy investigation by the New York Police Department into a feud between two rival gangs: the Money World and Local Trap Stars. The conflict started with a slaying in April 2019. Six months later, the feud escalated after a 14-year-old boy named Amir Griffin was shot and killed in Baisley Park Houses, a public housing project in Queens.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of Law and Order for Social Justice<\/h3>\n<p>Rewarding lawbreakers and punishing law-abiding citizens is itself a form of tyranny. Anyone who claims to care about social justice should also want to protect low-income families from the individuals who make life in their neighborhoods unbearable.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The Success Sequence and Strong Families<\/h3>\n<p>They can also encourage the formation of strong families consisting of a married father and mother raising their children in a loving home. Intact families\u202fimprove\u202fthe odds of going to college and decrease the likelihood of going to prison for children of every background.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is why every politician should be discussing the\u202f\u201dsuccess sequence.\u201d\u202fResearch shows that 97 percent of those born between 1980 and 1984 who finished high school, worked full time, and married before having children avoided poverty by their mid-30s. That message is tangible, achievable, and measurable. Teachers and counselors can teach this to children long before they decide to start a family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of Enforcing the Law<\/h3>\n<p>Elected officials can change laws and make policies. But aside from confinement and incarceration, they cannot\u202fprevent\u202fa person from committing a crime. They can, however, enforce the law and make it clear that criminal behavior will not be tolerated.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance of Maintaining Law and Order for Pro-Life Advocates<\/h3>\n<p>Pro-life and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/imagine-thinking-soaring-black-gun-ownership-is-a-bad-thing-pretty-racist-right\/\" title=\"Imagine Thinking \u2018Soaring\u2019 Black Gun Ownership Is A Bad Thing. Pretty Racist, Right?\">social justice advocates<\/a> should stress the importance of maintaining\u202flaw and order. Without it, a small number of people who have no regard for life force hard-working families to live in constant fear of losing a child to senseless street violence.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The gang takedown in Queens should silence every college professor and political pundit pushing to defund or abolish the police. There is enough of a buffer between posh television studios and public housing projects to let them indulge ideas that lead to lawlessness. The families trying to protect their children from bullets and beatdowns do not have that luxury.\u202f<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Delano Squires is a research fellow in the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at The Heritage Foundation.
