Published: April 20, 2023, 7 a.m.

The fight to protect life is, in some ways, even more challenging today than it was a year ago, Brian Westbrook says.\nThe Supreme Court\u2019s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, was a major victory for life, according to Westbrook, founder and executive director of the national sidewalk counseling organization Coalition Life.\nBut, he adds, "there's a lot of work that needs to be done.\u201d \n\u201cOur opponents are not going away, and we need to be vigilant in fighting back and ensuring that we can protect mothers and protect children,\u201d\xa0Westbrook says.\nIn the state of Illinois, for example, there's a bill being pushed by pro-abortion advocates that could \u201cshut down the 90 different [varieties] of pregnancy centers and maternity homes in Illinois,\u201d he says.\xa0\nIn an effort to encourage and mobilize the pro-life movement, Coalition Life is inviting Americans to St. Louis on April 29 for a march to support women and be a voice for the unborn.\xa0\nWestbrook joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss the opposition the pro-life movement is currently facing and why sidewalk counseling remains such a powerful tool in serving women facing a crisis pregnancy.\xa0\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
