The holiday season hasn’t been peaceful for pro-lifers and pro-abortion supporters alike but for two different reasons. While many families across the country were gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas, pro-life men embraced the cold for preborn babies everywhere. The Men’s March, a pro-life group, led a peaceful demonstration on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. According to CBS, a swarm of pro-choice activists swarmed around the men. They began chanting and yelling at them and shaking the police barriers set up to protect the group. The crowd grew to hundreds protesting the group, leading to nine known arrests.  

While pro-life men represented the pro-life movement peacefully, a group of pro-abortion supporters made a joke of themselves in more ways than one. Not only were some of them arrested, but most notably, some abortion zealots dressed as clowns, attempting to mock the Men’s March with their “clown march.” Based on their Instagram page, the only events they have hosted are those that target the presence of the Men’s March in Boston.   

If these abortion supporters were trying to look like the adults in the room, they royally failed. However, the pro-life men present didn’t take the bait and took the position of love, peace, and courage.   
 
“We stand for truly loving innocent children, and their moms, and their dads, and everyone else, including those who have a problem with that,” said Jim Havens, co-founder of the Men’s March.   
 
Sadly, the pro-life movement is no stranger to unruly protests. Earlier in November, Students for Life of America (SFLA) protestors swarmed Student Spokesperson Lydia Taylor Davis during the “Abortion is Violence” campus tour.

Despite the risks, pro-life groups host these public events, whether it is a peaceful march or a tabling display, to give a peaceful opposition to the mainstream narrative on abortion. We hope to open the public square to be a place for peaceful discourse on the issue of abortion and reveal the evil and hurt that often comes from those who want more preborn babies dead. 

“And this is actually one of the reasons we do this public march and rally,” says Jim Havens. “So, we can help those who are indoctrinated by the propaganda of evil. We can help them to come out of their ideological bubble and have an experience of real people who stand on the side of what is truly good and beautiful and stand against the ongoing, daily mass murder of our littlest brothers and sisters.”   
 
Our goal as pro-life activists is not to show hate or animosity towards those who disagree with us. Rather, our goal is to fight against the evil of abortion to change hearts and minds. Havens said, “We are not your enemies, and you are not our enemies. Do not let those who are pushing and profiting off this evil ideology, off this innocent bloodshed, to pit us against each other.”   

The pro-life movement always works to foster open dialogue with those who disagree with us. Students for Life groups do this on campus while tabling and distributing flyers. For example, the “Abortion on the Ballot” tour, which was displayed at 54 different campuses leading up to election day, led to an 11% minds-changed rate. The” Vote Pro-Life First” Digital Field Team Campaign convinced 23,982 voters to vote against abortion extremism.   

When we take time to foster meaningful dialogue, we see a positive shift in the perspective of life. Meanwhile, our protestors are too busy clowning around to have a serious discussion about the greatest human rights injustice of our time: abortion.
