March for Life Works to Maintain Unity in a Time of Division

Catholic News Agency’s Michelle La Rosa writes about divisions within Friday’s pro-life rally in Washington, which is reminiscent of the broader divide in politics, as the nation reaches the fourth week of a government shutdown. Some more liberal March for Life supporters, like Democrats for Life board member Charles Camosy, have criticized the event’s inclusion of conservative keynote speaker Ben Shapiro. La Rosa adds, “The rise of nontraditional groups – such as New Wave Feminists, Rehumanize International, and Secular Pro-Life – has raised questions about whether the pro-life movement must also take a definitive stance on immigration, health care, gun control, and other policy issues regarding human dignity in other walks of life.”
