Amid high-profile \u200closses at the ballot box since the \u200doverturning of Roe<\/em>, it\u2019s \u200cbecoming increasingly clear that people\u200c seeking to protect the rights of the unborn need to\u200d get serious about the unbalanced nature of \u2062American politics.<\/p>\n

At the 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., enthusiasm for protecting\u200d the rights of the unborn was \u200btangible. Thousands of young people were\u2063 in attendance, with\u200b some accurately describing\u2062 the moment as \u2063a \u201cspiritual battle\u201d and \u201ccivil rights issue of our \u2062lifetimes.\u201d\u200d Yet what is being done to effectively hinder the slaughter of the unborn?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Other than waxing poetic<\/a> about America\u2019s \u201cnational creed\u201d and \u201cspeak[ing] \u200cthe truth in love,\u201d as he \u200bdid \u200dat the March for Life, what has Speaker Mike Johnson done to advance\u200d life-saving policies\u2064 in the \u2063House? What have Senate Republicans\u200b done other than kneecap<\/a> Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville\u2019s protest of the Pentagon\u2019s illegal policy subsidizing military members\u2019 travel to receive abortions?<\/p>\n
Besides\u200d endlessly investigating \u200cgovernment weaponization, \u2063they\u2019re doing nothing of significance.\u200c Congressional Republicans have so far refused to push back<\/a> in any meaningful way on the left\u2019s\u2062 anti-life radicalism, opting to fund<\/a> \u200cDemocrats\u2019\u200c spending requests<\/a> \u2062instead and sabotage one of the few people in the Senate working to protect the unborn<\/a> and raise awareness\u2062 of the federal government\u2019s illegal support for killing them.<\/p>\n
Yes, some Republican officials in both chambers have tried several times to pass legislation protecting<\/a> the unborn, but those \u200cfall flat due \u200dto lack of support. Their Democrat colleagues, on the other hand,\u2063 frequently pass widely unpopular policies. Congressional Democrats ruthlessly \u2062pursue their goals through \u2064the negotiation process, ensuring the satisfaction \u2064of their base. Republicans don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Most\u2063 Republicans \u200cat the \u2063national level\u2063 appear unfazed by the federal government\u2019s persecution<\/a> of pro-life activists<\/a> and \u2063unwilling to take \u200da stand\u200c on the ever-expanding<\/a> abortion industry. The median voter may be ambivalent about abortion, but the Republican\u2062 base most certainly is \u2063not.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Short\u200c of restricting\u2064 and banning abortion, Republicans can<\/em> do more to support life\u2063 issues. Currently, congressional Republicans have\u200d the power to protect the rights of health care providers<\/a> to not perform abortions against their consciences, strip funding \u200dfrom federal agencies \u200dthat fund groups such as Planned Parenthood,\u2062 and\u2062 support colleagues like Tuberville when they stand \u200bagainst illegal abortion subsidization.\u200b This can \u2064all be accomplished now<\/em>, but Republicans refuse to act despite the demands of their\u2063 supporters. (Perhaps their inaction and routine capitulation betray\u200c their\u2062 apathy.)<\/p>\n
Subsequently, actual \u200bwork protecting pro-life interests has been largely forfeitted to activists and private organizations.<\/p>\n
Solidarity HealthShare \u200bis a health care-sharing ministry that, \u2062according to its \u2062 website<\/a>, \u200d\u201cprovides an alternative way to fund health care costs while protecting and \u200dpracticing\u201d its network\u2019s Catholic beliefs. Its cofounder Chris Faddis spoke to The Federalist about the issues facing pro-life \u2062doctors under the Biden administration. The American Board of\u2062 Obstrecis and Gynecology \u201cthat credentials \u2064OB-GYNs came out and said \u2062that doctors who speak out against abortion or the abortion pill should be should have their licenses removed\u201d right after\u200b the Dobbs<\/em> decision, he said.<\/p>\n
The federal\u200d government is not just on board\u2062 with this but accelerating it. The Biden\u200d administration is forcing so-called \u201cnon-discrimination rules, which would include abortion\u200d services \u2063and\u200c gender services, [that] would force doctors, hospitals, medical\u200d professionals, and clinics to participate \u2064in all of these practices, or they won\u2019t receive\u200b government\u2062 funding. They won\u2019t be able to participate \u2063in Medicare,\u201d\u2063 Faddis pointed out.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association \u2063of Pro-Life\u2064 Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told The Federalist\u200b the U.S. Department of Health \u200dand Human Services is trying to \u201crequire doctors \u2063in \u200bemergency rooms to perform elective abortions, which was never a part of the EMTALA\u2063 regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Faddis and Francis\u2019 organizations\u2064 work\u2062 to provide tangible\u200d solutions for\u200d pro-life\u200b Americans while elected Republicans twiddle their thumbs. This is why\u200b many are turning \u2064to state \u2063legislatures for results.<\/p>\n
March for Life \u2062president Jeanne Mancini told The Federalist her organization was \u201claser-focused on\u200c growing \u200dour state [outreach and March for Life programs]\u201d to educate more voters about\u2062 the gruesome reality of abortion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot \u2064of states \u200cenact [before 20-week bans], which\u2063 they couldn\u2019t do under the Roe <\/em>regime. But we\u2019ve had our fair share of losses, too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Despite \u200clamenting the left\u2019s deceptive use of language<\/a> to push abortion ballot\u2064 referendums, Mancini remained adamant that \u201cabortion\u2063 is such\u200d a winning issue\u201d and suggested \u200bRepublicans\u2064 need to \u2064hone their abortion messaging. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are \u2063so many positive\u200d ways to message about it \u2026 what we\u2019ve seen in \u200delections is that when candidates seem kind of nominal about this, so \u2064they bury their heads in the sand, and \u200dthey don\u2019t\u2062 win. But when they lean \u2063into this, they\u2019re competent, and they know what they\u2019re speaking about, \u2064we win.\u2062 So my advice would \u200bbe to lean into [the abortion argument].\u201d<\/p>\n
Political action at the state level \u200bis effective at protecting the unborn. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe overturning\u200c of Roe<\/em> gave us the opportunity to really advocate for our position and bring people to our side. Instead of relying on the heavy hand of the judiciary prohibiting our ability\u2062 to move the\u200c limits on\u2064 abortion, now we \u2062can really advocate and bring the\u2064 state legislatures to our side,\u201d said Penny\u2062 Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America.<\/p>\n
An \u2063incredible amount of \u2063work still needs to be done. The American people reject<\/a> Democrats\u2019 abortion extremism, but\u2062 they too often don\u2019t hear about it.<\/p>\n
The most \u2063powerful government in the\u200b history of the world \u200band its acolytes view abortion\u2062 with\u2064 religious \u2062fervor. Yes, pro-lifers need to raise awareness about how abortion kills the innocent while harming women, but\u2063 the\u200d federal\u2063 government and the left\u2019s vast nonprofit apparatus are \u2062committed to eroding this awareness and the \u2063power of states.<\/p>\n
Without meaningful action \u2062at the federal level, the\u200d abortion industry will continue to grow, and countless\u200c more lives will be lost. Red states cannot fight this fight alone. <\/p>\n

Title: The Unbalanced\u2064 Nature \u2063of American Politics: Protecting \u200dthe Rights \u200bof \u2063the \u200bUnborn<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/p>\n
Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, \u2064those \u2064seeking to \u200cprotect the rights of the unborn have faced significant challenges and losses at the ballot box. It has become\u200b increasingly\u200c clear that a more focused \u2063and balanced \u200capproach\u2062 is needed to address\u2063 the unbalanced nature of American politics. \u2064Despite the overwhelming enthusiasm shown at events \u2064like the annual March for Life in Washington, \u2062D.C., it is crucial\u200d to\u2062 examine the actions being taken to effectively hinder the slaughter of the unborn.<\/p>\n
Lack of Action from Elected Officials<\/p>\n
While politicians\u2063 may speak passionately about \u2063protecting the rights of the unborn, their actions often fall short of their words. Speaker Mike Johnson, for instance, has spoken about America’s “national \u2064creed” and advocated\u2062 for speaking the truth\u200d in\u2064 love at the March for Life. However, little has been \u200ddone to \u2064advance life-saving policies in the House. Senate Republicans have also come under scrutiny for kneecapping the\u2063 efforts \u200dof Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to protest the Pentagon’s illegal policy subsidizing military members’ travel to receive abortions.<\/p>\n
Congressional Republicans\u2062 have so far \u200drefused to push back meaningfully against\u2063 the left’s anti-life radicalism. Instead, they have opted\u200b to fund Democrats’ spending requests, thereby sabotaging\u2064 those \u200cfew individuals in the Senate who are actively working to protect\u2064 the unborn \u200cand raise awareness of the federal government’s\u200b illegal support for killing them.<\/p>\n
Lack\u2062 of Effective Response<\/p>\n
Republicans often find \u200cthemselves unable to pass legislation protecting the unborn \u200cdue\u2063 to a lack \u2064of support, \u2062while their Democrat \u200dcolleagues frequently pass unpopular policies. Congressional Democrats ruthlessly pursue their goals\u2062 through\u200b the negotiation process, ensuring the satisfaction of their base. In contrast, Republicans fail to\u200b take a \u2063stand on the ever-expanding abortion industry and\u200c the federal government’s\u200d persecution of pro-life activists. Although the \u2064median voter may \u200cbe ambivalent about\u200c abortion, the Republican base most\u200b certainly is not.<\/p>\n
The Power to Act<\/p>\n
Despite the challenges, Republicans have the power to support pro-life interests in various \u2062ways. They can protect the rights of healthcare providers to refuse performing abortions against their consciences, strip funding from federal\u200c agencies \u2064supporting groups \u200blike Planned Parenthood, and stand in support of colleagues like Tuberville\u2062 when they oppose illegal abortion subsidization. Yet, Republicans have refused to act, even in the face\u2064 of overwhelming \u200bsupport from their \u2064constituents.<\/p>\n
Private Organizations Taking the Lead<\/p>\n
With \u2064elected officials failing to deliver on their promises, the\u200b task \u200dof protecting pro-life interests has largely fallen to activists and\u200c private organizations. Solidarity\u200c HealthShare, for \u200cexample, provides an\u200c alternative way to fund\u2062 healthcare costs while respecting Catholic\u200b beliefs. These\u2064 organizations \u200dwork \u200ctirelessly to provide tangible solutions \u200bfor pro-life \u2064Americans, compensating for the inaction of elected Republicans.<\/p>\n
Turning \u2064to State Legislatures<\/p>\n
As losses \u200ccontinue to\u200d mount, many pro-life advocates<\/a> are\u2063 turning to state\u200d legislatures for results. March for Life President Jeanne Mancini acknowledges that\u200c despite\u2062 the growth of state outreach programs and \u2062the\u2063 enactment of pre-20-week \u2062abortion bans, losses \u2062have also been\u2063 experienced\u200b due to \u2064deceptive language used by the left. However, Mancini remains adamant that abortion is\u2062 a winning issue and suggests\u200b that\u200b Republicans\u200d need to refocus their efforts \u2063on educating voters about the gruesome reality of\u200c abortion.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n
Addressing the unbalanced nature of American\u2063 politics in \u200cprotecting the rights of the unborn requires\u200d a more focused \u2063and determined\u2063 approach. Elected officials must go beyond mere \u2063rhetoric and\u2063 take meaningful action to support life-saving policies.\u2062 Private \u2062organizations and activists have stepped in where politicians have faltered, but their efforts should complement, not replace, the work done by elected officials. By\u2063 working\u2063 together and engaging voters on a local and state level, there is hope for a more balanced political landscape that truly \u200cprotects\u2062 the\u2062 rights of the unborn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
