This #WomensEqualityDay, we remember the legacy and vision of our pro-life foremothers. 1/
"How can one protect and help women by killing them as babies?... Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women." -Alice Paul, suffragist, feminist, and women's rights activist. 2/
“The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism.” -Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, first female physician 3/
“Perhaps there will come a time when an unmarried mother will not be despised because of her motherhood… and when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with." -Sarah Norton, suffragist and author. 4/
"When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong with society - so when a woman destroys the life of an unborn child it is an evidence that by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged." -Mattie Brinkerhoff, suffragist 5/
"The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the fetus...I hold abortion to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder." -Victoria Woodhull, 1st women candidate for U.S. president 6/

🧵Today the FDA lifted its safety restrictions on chemical abortion, making this dangerous pill regimen available without a physician's oversight. 1/
The FDA itself has documented thousands of adverse events caused by chemical abortion, including hundreds of women hemorrhaging, being hospitalized and in the case of some women, even death. 2/
It is well documented that chemical abortion is much harder on women’s health than surgical abortion, and today the FDA has lowered the standards for women’s health in name of greater access to abortion, a truly political move that will have grave consequences. 3/
The protection of all of those who participate in the annual March, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event, is a top priority of the March for Life. (1/6)
In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol, this year’s March for Life will look different. (2/6)
The annual rally will take place virtually and we are asking all participants to stay home and to join the March virtually. We will invite a small group of pro-life leaders from across the country to march in Washington, DC this year. (3/6)
“Sen. Patty Murray, acting on behalf of Senate Democrats, blocked even having a voice-vote on common-sense legislation that would prohibit the killing of babies who survive a botched abortion...” (1/4) @TMcClusky@MFLAction
“...and instead chose to stand up in favor of infanticide and the abortion lobby. This pro-death mentality is the same one that has recently moved some lawmakers to propose extremely permissive late-term abortion bills in states like New York and Virginia.” (2/4)
“The consensus among the vast majority of Americans is that abortion should be limited to – at most – the first trimester.” (3/4)
