Conservative author, commentator, and activist Candace Owens has publicly declared she is pro-life, after previously supporting abortion<\/a>, saying that life is a “miracle,” and that it is “sacred.” In recent years, she has been swayed by pro-life arguments. However, it was seeing her own preborn child on an ultrasound screen that led her to fully embrace the pro-life position.<\/p>\n

In a recent Instagram post<\/a>, Owens explained that she had never been taught the realities of fetal development before she became pregnant with her own child. “I remember the first time I learned about abortion in school,” she wrote. “‘It\u2019s a clump of cells until after 3 months’ said my obtuse gym teacher turned health instructor. Fast forward to more than a decade later to my 10 week scan, and I will never forget the feelings I experienced.”<\/p>\n

Not only did Owens realize that her baby was not a mere “clump of cells,” she felt she had been deceived. “I was amazed that our baby already had arms and legs, hands and feet and was dancing around inside me. I was overcome by an inexorable sense of love followed by the powerful realization that I would do anything and everything to protect my unborn child,” she said. “But I was mostly astonished that all those years ago in high school, I was lied to. I was brainwashed into believing that it was my body, and therefore, simply, my choice.”<\/p>\n
