No Matter What They Call It, Abortion Kills Babies

Reproductive Freedom for All, the organization formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, has changed its name more often than some people change passwords. Their own history page lists the name changes in 1969, 1973, 2003, and 2023. The wardrobe changes have not helped.

Same old abortion lobby. Same old hysteria. Same old need to pretend National Right to Life is hiding behind every curtain with a “criminalization playbook.” But give them credit for this. They understand who their chief foil is: “NRLC has helped shape the anti-abortion movement’s legal and legislative playbook for decades…”

Their June 3 attack on NRLC reads less like research and more like a group project finished at 2 a.m. with emojis, buzzwords, and a thesaurus set permanently to “extremist.” They accuse NRLC of pushing to “criminalize abortion access nationwide,” punish “helpers,” and target people who share information online. They toss in “RICO-style” language as if they discovered a villain’s lair under our Washington office. Above all else, Reproductive Freedom for All wants you to believe NRLC is in the business primarily of punishing women who have aborted.

Here is the problem for them: National Right to Life said plainly, in public, in writing, that its post-Roe model law “ensures that no criminal or civil penalty will be imposed on a pregnant woman.” That sentence sits right there in NRLC’s own release. No secret decoder ring required. No dark money telescope needed. Just the ability to read.

NRLC supports laws that protect unborn children and their mothers. NRLC supports holding abortionists and those who profit from illegal abortions accountable. NRLC has never supported criminal penalties for women who undergo abortions. That is not a nuance. That is not a footnote. That is the position.

But Reproductive Freedom for All cannot argue with the actual position, so they invented a scarier one. They need cartoon villains because the truth does not serve them. The truth is that National Right to Life works to protect human beings before birth, defend vulnerable mothers, stop abortion profiteers, and restore legal protection to children whom the abortion industry wants erased.

Their “Hall of Shame Scorecard” deserves special mention. Nothing says sober policy analysis like frowny faces, sirens, broken hearts, and liar emojis. One almost expects a glitter sticker at the bottom: “Great job fearmongering!” If this is their evidence file, the prosecution may rest, preferably for a long time.

They call pro-life protections “harm.” We call them laws that save lives.

They call limits on mail-order abortion “extremism.” We call it common sense to stop sending powerful abortion drugs through the mail with less seriousness than a dentist gives antibiotics.

They call pregnancy help centers “fake clinics.” We call them the places women go when the abortion industry offers one option, one price, and one dead child.

The abortion lobby has a very simple strategy: rename itself, repackage abortion, then accuse everyone else of deception. It is exhausting, but not impressive.

National Right to Life will continue to do what it has done for decades: defend unborn children, support mothers, equip lawmakers, and expose the abortion industry’s lies. Reproductive Freedom for All can keep changing names, fonts, slogans, and emoji charts. None of it changes the central fact they keep trying to avoid.

Abortion ends the life of a child.

That is why they rage. That is why they smear. That is why they need hysterical claims instead of honest debate.

And that is why National Right to Life will not be distracted by their latest costume change.
