That’s one possible title the marchers could use. Or “Walk to End Abortion.” Or “Walk to Save Babies’ Lives.” Or any number of things. But not “Walk for Life.”
I know people who participate in these walks and stand outside abortion clinics to try to get women to consider options other than abortion. They’re good people, well-meaning people. But so many of them are not interested in the larger issue of preserving life. Many support executions and the right of a person to commit suicide when pain becomes too unbearable or for doctors to do it for them (euthanasia). Many would express the view that we should assassinate tyrants and bomb regimes even before all peaceful means have been attempted to resolve the conflict, even though some innocent civilians might be killed in the process. How is any of this “for Life”?
Actually, I don’t want them to change their walk’s name or their description of their stance: “pro-life.” I just want them to live up to those labels.
