When former president Donald Trump recently offered his position statement on protecting the sanctity of human life, the Left predictably attacked him as radical and extreme for expressing any inclination to do so. The reaction on the right, however, was split.

Some pro-life advocates voiced disappointment and even outrage that he did not express support for a federal law protecting life in all 50 states. Others took his endorsement of states as the appropriate policy-makers on the subject to be an acknowledgment of the political reality that there is no will on the part of conservatives in Washington to attempt to set a national standard. The sanctity of life is a fundamental human right and should be protected as such.
