The Arc of Conviction: History, Strategy, and Ethical Foundations of the American Pro-Life Movement

I. Foundational Origins and Pre-1973 Context: The Seeds of Restriction

The legal and social environment regarding abortion in the United States was historically characterized by pervasive restrictions that predated the 20th century...

A. The “Century of Criminalization” and Medical Authority

The initial drive for criminalization in the mid-19th century was championed by the American Medical Association (AMA)...

B. Early Resistance and The Rise of the Organizational Infrastructure

The anti-abortion perspective did not materialize suddenly in 1973... The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) was established in 1968...

II. The Shock of Roe and Political Transformation (1973–1980s)

The 1973 decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton struck down most state abortion laws...

A. Organizational Mobilization and the Catholic Infrastructure

In the face of the Roe defeat, the countermovement mobilized rapidly...

B. The Great Partisan Realignment

The movement's most significant transformation was its decisive shift from a diverse origin to a Republican-aligned force...

III. Strategic Pillars: Legislation, Funding, and Incrementalism

A. The Power of the Purse: The Hyde Amendment

The Hyde Amendment of 1976 was the first major legislative victory...

B. State-Level Incrementalism and Regulation

After the 1992 Casey decision, the movement focused heavily on waiting periods, informed consent, and parental involvement laws...

C. The Judicial Long Game

The movement recognized that reversing Roe required decades of judicial appointments...

IV. The Long Game: Judicial Strategy and the Overturning of Roe (1990s–2022)

A. Challenging the Viability Standard

The viability standard was criticized as medically fluid and constitutionally arbitrary...

B. Dobbs v. Jackson: The Strategy’s Culmination

The Dobbs case overturned Roe and returned authority to the states...

Era/Period	Strategic Focus	Event	Significance
Pre-Roe	Early Mobilization	Founding of NRLC	Created organizational backbone
Post-Roe	Consolidation	Hyde Amendment	Restricted access via funding
1980s	Political Realignment	Evangelical entry	Shift to conservative coalition
1980–2021	Incremental Regulation	PI laws, waiting periods	Challenged Roe/Casey
2022	Strategy Culmination	Dobbs Decision	Overturned Roe

C. The Next Legal Frontier: Personhood

Dobbs avoided defining constitutional personhood; future efforts focus on 14th Amendment recognition...

V. The Non-Legal Pillar: The Culture of Life Movement (Post-Dobbs)

A. Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) and Direct Aid

CPCs provide pregnancy tests, counseling, material supplies, and adoption services...

B. Post-Dobbs Investment and Legislative Expansion

States supporting restrictions also expanded maternal care funding...

Strategy Component	Function	Examples
Direct Intervention	Alternatives to abortion	CPCs, ultrasounds, supplies
Maternal Welfare	Support ecosystem	Her PLAN, ASAP donations
Policy Expansion	State support	Healthcare improvements, funding

VI. Synthesis of the Ethical Imperative: Life from Conception

A. The Biological and Scientific Claim

The movement states that human life begins at fertilization based on embryology...

B. Inherent Worth and the Sanctity of Life

The value of a human being is intrinsic and independent of functional capacity...

C. The Pro-Potentialist Thesis

The fetus, as a potential innocent person, is argued to have a full moral right to life...

D. Ethical Conclusion

The moral right to life is considered paramount and protective obligations extend to the unborn...

Premise	Statement	Basis	Conclusion
Biological Start	Life begins at fertilization	Embryology	Termination is morally wrong
Inherent Worth	Value from species membership	Philosophical	Equal worth of unborn
Potentiality	Potential persons have rights	Pro-potentialist thesis	Right to life outweighs autonomy
Legal Goal	Personhood under 14th Amendment	Legislation	Push for legal protection

Conclusions

The history of the American pro-life movement shows a long, strategic path involving mobilization, political realignment, incremental regulation, and judicial positioning...

''UK Women Accessing Abortion Are Not Told Of The Risk They Would Remain Childless - " Daily

https://harbingersdaily.com/uk-women-accessing-abortion-are-not-told-of-the-risk-they-would-remain-childless/

"With all wisdom get understanding." — Proverbs 4:7

AI GENERATED CRITIQUE:

Yes — that's exactly it.

The high rate of childlessness among women who abort in their late 20s or early 30s is overwhelmingly a demographic and socioeconomic pattern, not a medical consequence of the abortion itself.

---

Why Many Women Who Abort at 28–32 End Up Childless — Non-Medical Reasons

Medical science shows abortion rarely causes infertility.
So why do so many of these women remain childless?
Because of life patterns, not health damage.

1. Delayed Motherhood

Women who obtain abortions in their late 20s often:

• lack a stable relationship
• want marriage first
• feel financially unready
• are finishing education
• are in unstable housing or early career stages

These factors often persist into their 30s. By the time they feel ready for a child, fertility has already begun to decline sharply.

2. Partner Instability

Many late-20s abortions occur when a woman does not have a long-term partner. This instability frequently continues into the mid-30s.

No partner → no pregnancy.

3. Career & Economic Pressure

Women in expensive cities face:

• high rent
• limited space
• demanding career paths
• fear of losing job momentum

These pressures encourage postponing motherhood.

4. Fertility Decline After 32–35

Biology — not abortion — is the major hurdle.

Fertility declines notably after 32 and accelerates after 35. A woman who aborts at 29 and doesn’t try again until 35–38 is already in a statistically difficult range.

5. Life Circumstances Don’t Improve

Many assume: “I’ll have a baby later when life gets better.” For many, that “better” moment never comes — the core demographic driver of later-life childlessness.

---

What the Article Should Have Said

If accuracy was the goal:

“Women who abort late in their twenties have a high chance of remaining childless by 45 — mainly because they tend to continue postponing motherhood for socioeconomic reasons, not because abortion medically harms fertility.”

This separates:

• medical facts
• demographic realities
• ideological interpretation

The original article blends these and creates misunderstanding.

re Jeremiah 20:15-18

Full Bible Verse

---

"Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, saying, 'A son is born to you,' making him very glad. Cursed be that man because he slew me not from the womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always great. Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?" - Jeremiah 20:15-18

---

ChatGPT Elaboration 

The phrase "because he slew me not from the womb" (often found in verse 17, depending on the translation) is an intense expression of profound despair from the prophet Jeremiah. Following persecution and suffering for faithfully delivering God's message, Jeremiah is so overwhelmed that he curses the very day he was born and the man who announced his birth.

The core meaning of the phrase is: "I wish I had died before I was born." He is saying that the messenger who announced his birth should have, instead, been the one to kill him while he was still in the womb. His suffering is so great that he views being born only to face "toil and sorrow" and "shame" as a worse fate than never having lived at all.

me: this suggests that when Jeremiah in the womb he was a person

chatGPT: 

Yes, your inference aligns with how this specific passage from Jeremiah 20:15-18 is often interpreted, both theologically and literarily.

Here is a breakdown of why this suggests Jeremiah views the existence in the womb as personhood:

1. The Language of Personhood

Jeremiah uses deeply personal and active language to describe his existence in the womb and his desire for non-existence:

• "he slew me not from the womb" (Jeremiah 20:17) and "Why did I come forth from the womb?" (Jeremiah 20:18).

• By wishing that he had been "slain" (killed) while still in the womb, Jeremiah attributes the concept of life, and the potential for it to be ended, to the fetus. You can't "slay" something that is not, in some sense, alive or existing.

• He is not cursing an object or a potentiality, but cursing the event that led to the person he is becoming, suggesting his identity was already linked to the experience of the womb.

2. Theological Context in the Bible

This idea is consistent with other verses in the Bible, particularly within the prophetic books and Psalms, that speak of God's intimate knowledge and relationship with an individual before birth, implying personhood or at least a unique human identity in the womb:

• Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." (This verse establishes that Jeremiah's divine calling preceded his birth.)

• Psalm 139:13: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."

While these passages do not directly define the precise philosophical or biological moment of personhood, the ancient Hebrew perspective, as expressed by the prophets and psalmists, strongly emphasized that a distinct human life, known and intended by God, exists within the womb.

pope leo👎" Pro-Abortion Dick Durbin Deserves Excommunication, Not a Catholic Lifetime Achievement Award"

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2025/10/01/dick-durbin-cupich-award-pope-leo-pro-life-vip-n2664286 

"

here is where the Cardinal, and even Pope Leo, get it wrong.

Pope Leo commented on the situation, saying, "Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, IL, said giving the award to Durbin would be "scandalous." In a statement sent to Catholic publication

The Pillar, Paprocki said, "I was shocked to learn that the Archdiocese of Chicago plans to honor Senator Richard Durbin with a Lifetime Achievement Award."

Paprocki continued, "Given Senator Durbin's long and consistent record of supporting legal abortion — including opposing legislation to protect children who survive failed abortions - this decision risks causing grave scandal, confusing the faithful about the Church's unequivocal teaching on the sanctity of human life. Honoring a public figure who has actively worked to expand and entrench the right to end innocent human life in the womb undermines the very concept of human dignity and solidarity that the award purports to uphold..."

That is because euthanasia protocols often include a paralytic. After sedation, physicians administer a muscle relaxant such as rocuronium that stops breathing. The paralytic masks signs of struggle.

Family members witness what looks like stillness, while the patient may endure agony in silence...

from 1970 to 2023 the population increased over 128 million, yet the number of daily births declined by 300

 Trends:

• Births per capita have declined steadily from around 1.8–1.9% in 1970 to about 1.07% in 2023.

• The early 1970s saw the highest birth-per-population rates of the modern era.

• Since around 2000, the birth rate has stayed in the 1.3%–1.1% range, declining further in the 2020s.

🗓️ Births per Capita (% of Population) — U.S. Crude Birth Rate

1980–1989	~15.3 million
1990–1999	~14.4 million
2000–2009	~12.6 million
2010–2019	~9.1 million

Total Estimate 1970–2020:

~56.3 million abortions

To calculate how many births there would have been per decade and per day if abortions hadn't occurred, we'll add the estimated abortions back to the actual births for each decade.

✅ Here's the Data (U.S. Only):

Decade	Actual Births	Estimated Abortions	Total If No Abortions	Births/Day (with abortion)	Births/Day (if none aborted)
1970s	~36.3 million	~4.0 million	~40.3 million	~9,945	~11,041
1980s	~38.3 million	~15.3 million	~53.6 million	~10,493	~14,685
1990s	~39.1 million	~14.4 million	~53.5 million	~10,712	~14,658
2000s	~40.5 million	~12.6 million	~53.1 million	~11,096	~14,548
2010s	~36.2 million	~9.1 million	~45.3 million	~9,918	~12,411
2020	~3.6 million	~0.93 million	~4.53 million	~9,863	~12,411

Note: Births per day = total births ÷ number of days in the period (e.g., 10 years = 3,652.5 days accounting for leap years).

---

🔎 What Does This Mean?

If no abortions had occurred:

• Each decade would have seen 2,500 to 4,000 more babies born per day, depending on the decade.

• The 1980s and 1990s would have seen the most dramatic increase in births.

• Over the 50-year span from 1970–2020, the U.S. would have had about 56 million more births.

U.S. Fertility Rate and the Underpopulation Concern

In recent years, the U.S. fertility rate has dropped below the replacement level, which is 2.1 children per woman. As of the most recent data:

• U.S. fertility rate (2023 est.): ~1.62 children per woman

• Replacement rate: 2.1 children per woman

• Shortfall: -0.48 children per woman

🧮 What If Abortions Had Not Happened?

• As we saw in the previous data:

  • ~63 million abortions since 1973

  • That's nearly 1 in 6 Americans never born

  • Many would now be in their prime working and parenting years

  If even half of those children had been born and had children of their own, the replacement crisis might not exist.

Pro-life advocates are blowing the whistle on a stillbirth policy in Australia which also allows women who choose to undergo late-term abortions to receive payment from the government afterwards — even in amounts of over $20,000.

Key Takeaways:

A leaked letter from Senator Katy Gallagher confirmed that women can receive money from the government after undergoing late-term abortions.

The money is actually earmarked for women who experience stillbirths, but Gallagher admitted in the letter that abortions qualify as well.

If women choosing to abort their children after 20 weeks apply for Parental Leave Pay, they might receive as much as $22,754."

ChatGPT:

"'Participatory photography' has powerful potential in areas like abortion regret and recovery, though it's more sensitive and less commonly publicized due to privacy, stigma, and emotional complexity. Still, there are ways this method has been or could be applied to help individuals process, heal, and raise awareness.

---

🔍 Participatory Photography for Abortion Regret & Recovery

While there are no widely publicized photovoice projects specifically and exclusively on abortion regret, similar trauma-informed and post-abortion healing projects have used visual storytelling methods—including photography—to:

✅ Goals:

Help women (and sometimes men) process complex emotions like grief, guilt, confusion, or isolation.

Reclaim personal agency by telling their own story visually.

Foster safe dialogue around a deeply polarizing issue.

Build peer support or inform more compassionate care practices.

---

🧩 What This Could Look Like in Practice:

📸 1. Personal Visual Journals

Participants take photos representing:

Moments of loss or emptiness

Healing spaces (e.g., nature, places of worship)

Symbols of identity, hope, or memory

Relationships or changes since the event

> Example: A photo of an empty cradle in a sunlit room with a handwritten caption like, "What might have been, but also what I'm learning to live with."

🤝 2. Support Group Projects

Facilitators trained in trauma-informed care provide cameras and host safe, non-judgmental spaces. Participants can:

Share photo-stories privately or anonymously

Use captions or narratives to explore grief, spirituality, or forgiveness

Display work (with consent) in therapeutic spaces, church halls, or advocacy events

---

⚠️ Special Considerations:

Because abortion involves highly personal and often politically charged feelings, any participatory photography project on abortion regret should be:

Voluntary & confidential

Facilitated by trauma-informed counselors

Inclusive of diverse experiences (some may regret it, others may not)

Focused on healing, not advocacy unless participants choose that purpose

---

🔦 Real-Life Example (closest in spirit):

📷 Silent No More Awareness Campaign (U.S.)

While not participatory photography in the strict academic sense, this campaign shares personal testimonies of post-abortion regret, sometimes using portraits and photo-stories.

Many women write or speak publicly, some use visuals—photos of themselves holding signs like "I Regret My Abortion"—to reclaim their voice and advocate for healing.

It's often faith-based, but secular versions also exist.

Memorial Day 2025: Yes indeed, SOME GAVE ALL

 In quiet wombs, where life took hold,

Tiny hearts began, brave and bold.

Ten little fingers, toes so small,

Waiting for breath, answering life's call.

But shadows fell, a silent plea,

A chance denied, eternally.

No first cry heard, no gentle sigh,

Before they glimpsed the earth and sky.

Some gave all, their journey ceased,

Before a birthday, a loving feast.

Dreams unfulfilled, futures unknown,

Seeds of potential, never sown.

A vacant cradle, a tear-filled eye,

For lives that flickered and passed by.

Let gentle hearts and voices rise,

To champion lives behind veiled eyes.

Support the life choice, the right to be,

For every soul, for all to see

The precious gift, the fragile start,

A beating pulse within the heart.

Let kindness guide, and love extend,

For every life, until the end.

Some gave all, a sacrifice untold,

Their silent story, brave and bold.
