"We’ve faced a few political setbacks since Roe was overruled, an indication that much work remains. I applaud efforts to “go local,” to bring pro-life advocacy and organizing down to the state and municipal level, however the path forward seems uncertain to me. I must acknowledge now that winning hearts and minds could be a perennial challenge."

"On the one hand, our mission—extending the protection of the law to the unborn—is a matter of life and death... And on the other hand, we want to bring life. Human life is more than survival: It requires joy shared with others. When we allow the seriousness of the pro-life cause to eclipse our shared life or our appreciation for others, we cripple our own movement. If we want to inspire hope among mothers, fathers, and the general public, we’ve got to show that we cherish their lives as much as we want them to cherish the unborn."
