COMMENTARY: Marching for Life: Why We Have to Replace Politics and Fussiness with Love, Inclusion, Mercy, and Justice

When battle lines are drawn around the legalized abortion debate, the two sides are aptly coined as pro-life and pro-choice. "Pro-choice" certainly makes for a much cleaner bumper sticker than "pro-abortion." Actress Michelle Williams recently stood up on the 2020 Golden Globes stage and testified, "I wouldn't have been able to do this without employing a woman's right to choose." When abortion proponents label the practice as "a woman's right to choose," it reduces life inside and outside of the womb to a mere choice.
