He came to the decision to do so after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in <em>Dobbs v. Jackon Women&#8217;s Health Organization<\/em> on December 1 in the case surrounding the Mississippi 15 week abortion restriction and then just days later ruled that the pro-life Texas Heartbeat Act would remain in effect while abortion clinics file lawsuits against it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of different reasons why I decided to support [Live Action],&#8221; Hollister said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiveAction\/status\/1471540427278987265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>. &#8220;To be honest, at first, I was really hesitant to do it. Not because I&#8217;m afraid of any confrontation or any arguments around the subject, it&#8217;s really just because I fear that anybody who feels differently than I do about it would feel anything but love from me. Because the way that I was raised and the way that I try to live my life to the best of my ability is to love people first in everything that I do and love people really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His cleats feature the image of a mother and her preborn child with the phrase, &#8220;Love them both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING:<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jaguars?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Jaguars<\/a> tight end <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hollister_jacob?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hollister_jacob<\/a> is boldly standing for LIFE, selecting Live Action as the cause to put on his cleats<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Both moms and babies have equal worth and demand equal protection.
