Usually, this would usually not be newsworthy. However, this year actually marked the first time since 2021 that CPAC devoted a panel to sanctity of life issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Thursday afternoon, a panel entitled \u201cBabies-R-Us\u201d took place on the main stage. The panelists were Penny Nance, the President and CEO of Concerned Women for America, and Brandi Swindell, the founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare. The panel was moderated by Abraham Enriquez, the founder and President of Bienvendo U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panel started with Enriquez asking what we can do as conservatives to put the \u201cspotlight on just how crazy the left has gone on their view on abortion.\u201d Nance said that one of the most amazing moments of her entire life was when she stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and heard that that there is no constitutional right to abortion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is not the time for us to lean back and to be afraid,\u201d said Nance. \u201cLife is winning! It is time to lean forward and bring others with us!\u201d Nance also promoted a piece of legislation dubbed Life.gov, introduced by Congressman Diane Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) which would create a searchable online database of resources for pregnant women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next question was directed to Swindell. Enriquez asked why it is important to support pro-life clinics and why critics of pro-life pregnancy help centers like Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are wrong. Swindell stated that the center she founded is a non-profit that does not charge for any of its services. \u201cWe specialize in providing exceptional care to women facing unintended pregnancies,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We provide an 18-month care program to women to walk them through the journey of their pregnancy and beyond.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to their critics, Stanton Healthcare took three of their moms and three of their Stanton babies to the offices of Senator Warren and Rep. Ocasio Cortez in Washington, D.C. \u201cYou cannot deny their experience,\u201d Swindell said, \u201cIt was not fake&#8230; It was all very, very real.\u201d Swindell also mentioned that her facilities have a third party accreditation. &#8220;Do you know who does not have a third party accreditation? Planned Parenthood and the majority of abortion clinics.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enriquez encouraged attendees to learn about and support local pregnancy resource centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-movement-equal-protection\/\"><em>Equal Protection: The pro-life movement\u2019s New North Star<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next question dealt with the politics of abortion. Enriquez asked if the mainstream media correct when they say that in order to be successful, we need to \u201cturn a blind eye to the pro-life message.\u201d Nance responded by saying that both the media and the consultant class in Washington are wrong. When pro-lifers hide from this issue, the other side defines them as extremist.\u00a0 However, the other side believes abortion should be legal any time, any reason, any number, any point in gestation all paid for by the taxpayer. That is an extremist position. Nance also added that \u201cOur movement is replete with people who deeply regret their abortions.\u201d She encouraged those involved with past abortions to jettison that shame, come to the Lord, and help make others make better decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enriquez then told a powerful story of a pregnant teenager who was told by a physician to write down all her hopes, goals, and dreams. The doctor then took the sheet of paper, tore it up, and said that none of that would be possible with the child she wascarrying. Thankfully, the mother had support from her parents and carried the pregnancy to term. She accomplished everything that she wrote down on that sheet of paper. That woman in the story was Enriquez\u2019s mom \u2014 and Enriquez was the child the doctor said she should abort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swindell discussed Stanton Healthcare\u2019s new campaign to end abortion abuse. She gave multiple examples of women who were pressured by a partner to obtain an abortion. She told attendees that \u201cabortion trauma is real\u201d and that if you are victim or a survivor of abortion abuse, \u201cwe believe you and we will stand with you.\u201d Swindell added that her group is working with state and federal lawmakers enact legislation to make sure abortion abuse is treated as the crime that it is. She said Stanton Healthcare is about to launch the website, \u201cEndAbortionAbuse.org.\u201d\u00a0 They have 2,000 affidavits from victims of abortion abuse, and Stanton said that \u201ca day of hope is coming for women and their children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last question Enriquez posed to both panelists was, \u201cHow important is it to stand righteously with the pro-life movement heading into the November elections?\u201d Both panelists agreed it was very important. Swindell said that every candidate needs to be asked if they oppose abortion abuse and if they support legislation that makes abortion abuse criminal. Swindell also added that corporations and universities need to stop discriminating against pregnant women and mothers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nance stressed the importance of political involvement and said, \u201dWe need to return The White House to a President who supports life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael New is an Assistant Professor of Practice at The Busch School of Business at the Catholic University of America and a Senior Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
