'Everything is Coming Together:' Pro-Lifers Say the End of Roe v. Wade is Closer Than Ever

'Everything is Coming Together:' Pro-Lifers Say the End of Roe v. Wade is Closer Than Ever Read Transcript


- For 25 years, the National Institute

of Family and Life Advocates, or NIFLA,

has equipped pregnancycenters to serve women

and their communities.

Now, after all the time, work, and money,

its leaders and supportersare talking about

the potential end oflegalized abortion in America.

The numbers andaccomplishments tell the story

of how this organizationhelps women choose life.

Some 1,600 US pregnancy centers,

the introduction of using ultrasounds

to the pro-life movement.

- Since we started that, over1,300 pro-life medical clinics

utilizing ultrasound are inexistence across the country.

And an abortion-minded woman comes in,

she's been told it's a blob of tissue,

she sees the ultrasound, and bingo.

We've seen huge numbers of women

choose life because of that.

- [Charlene] Alveda King applauds

the boots on the ground work.

- The pregnancy care centers are the heart

of the pro-life movement,

and the reason I believe that,

they don't just say to amother who comes to the door

and she's pregnant andfaced with a decision

to birth a child or not, butthey speak to the mother,

they support the birth of the child,

the father is welcome, andthe community is welcome.

So I'm very fond of NIFLA's work.

- [Charlene] NIFLA recentlyhosted a gathering of pro-lifers

as part of its annual leadership summit.

It comes at a time whenmany in the movement

are more hopeful than ever thatthe Roe versus Wade decision

might be overturned.

Mississippi recentlyasked the US Supreme Court

to take another look, arguingthat states should be allowed

to decide whether to regulate abortion.

Now with a majority of conservativeSupreme Court justices,

many say that time is right.

That includes Abby Johnson,

a former manager in the abortion industry.

- Right now, though, I'm so hopeful.

I mean, we've got, Ithink almost four times

the number of pregnancy centers

as we have abortion clinicsin the United States.

Abortion clinics are closingdown year after year.

Culture is changing.

Young people's minds are changing.

- [Charlene] Glessner agrees.

- But it just seems likeeverything's coming together

at the right time.

We have six potentialjustices on that court

who could vote to overturn Roe.

And if the court does notvote to actually overturn Roe,

if they uphold theMississippi law, Roe's dead.

- [Charlene] That, says King,would be an answer to prayer.

- My prayer in the pro-life movement

is that people will wake up,that the eyes of the nation

and the world will open and realize

that life is sacred fromthe womb to the tomb,

and that there arelife-affirming solutions

that do not require that wekill the youngest, the weakest,

and most innocent, the babies in the womb.

I pray that we wake up, openour eyes, and choose life.

- [Charlene] Meanwhile, ifRoe v. Wade is abolished,

the issue will move to the states,

a fight Glessner says abortionproponents are relishing.

- You're gonna see a huge,huge hysteria coming from them

and maybe some violence.

I think we'd better be prepared for that

because they will bescreaming and hollering

how this court has takenaway women's rights.
