Whither Pro-Lifers?
Briefly

President Trump’s executive order promoting in vitro fertilization (IVF) represents a complex challenge to the pro-life movement, traditionally rooted in anti-abortion principles. While his administration has yielded notable victories for pro-lifers, such as pardoning FACE Act prisoners, the recent push for IVF as a key GOP agenda item suggests a shifting landscape. This tension highlights the pro-life movement's struggle with dwindling popularity, as Americans increasingly favor moderate views on reproductive rights that support birth control and express unease with strict abortion bans, revealing a broader societal shift away from hardline pro-life stances.
