The future of the pro-life movement is already here

Every year, tens of thousands of students, priests, sisters and
pro-life activists gather in Washington, D.C., around the
anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade to
witness against abortion. This year, the march looks different
because of Covid-19. But it is also noteworthy for another reason:
It is the first march of the “post-Trump era.”  Though he is
no longer president, for many Americans, Donald Trump will remain
the face of the pro-life movement for years to come. So where do we
go from here? What can those of us who oppose abortion and the
death penalty—who want Roe overturned and for our country to
welcome refugees—do to change the conversation around life issues?
Thankfully, we got one answer to that question back in 2019, when
we talked with Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, the founder of New Wave
Feminists. Destiny became a mother at a young age, and her
experience inspired her to to form the pro-life, feminist
organization that gives women the support and resources needed to
make motherhood a feasible option.  We wanted to share this
conversation with you (again) because it’s people like Destiny who
give us hope for the future of the pro-life movement.  This
