Dear Ignatius Insight Readers,
"Pro-lifers in the United States were generally disappointed and discouraged by the results of the 2008 national elections," writes Michael J. Miller in the January issue of Catholic World Report.
"Barack Obama-as measured by his own record and campaign promises, the most pro-abortion presidential candidate the United States has ever seen-was elected with 52.6 percent of the popular vote. It appears inevitable that the modest but significant political gains made by the pro-life movement since 2000 will be eroded or undone when the president-elect takes office. In some areas the short-term damage may be even more extensive than veteran pro-lifers anticipate."
But, as Miller goes on to point out, pro-life leaders are determined not to sit on their hands.
He writes that "contrary to the impression that the mainstream media eagerly gives, the pro-life movement in the United States has not crawled into a corner to lie low for the next four years."
