Some March for Life Attendees Disillusioned By Administration’s Soft Approach on Abortion

While the White House has touted President Trump as the “most pro-life president in history,” attendees of the annual March for Life on Friday told National Review that his approach to abortion during his second term has alienated some members of the movement.

Pro-lifers who spoke with NR said they believe the Trump administration has been riding the high of the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the question of abortion back to the states in a major win for the movement, and has in turn softened its stance on abortion in an effort to appeal to a wider bloc of voters.
