Young Men Across Nation Lead Pro-Life Movement with Determination

Young men across the nation are stepping up and taking leadership in the pro-life movement. “Sometimes the pro-life movement risks falling into this mistake, that it’s just a women’s movement,” Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, told “The Epoch Times.” “Sometimes you’ll see these events being arranged, and they say, ‘Oh, let’s just let the women speak. We’ll only let the women speak.’ That’s a big mistake.”

Janet Morana is the group’s executive director and co-founder of the Silent No More awareness campaign. She and Pavone said making abortion exclusively a women’s issue helps perpetuate abortion by making women feel alone in their choice. “The pro-life movement is built on families, and that requires both men and women, and we are so happy to have men standing up for our movement,” she said.

Thousands of young men from elementary schools, high schools, colleges and seminaries across the country gathered in the nation’s capital to make their voices heard during last month’s March for Life. Those young men were joined by little boys walking hand-in-hand with their fathers and mothers and older men bearing signs that said things such as “Abortion is Failed Manhood” and “Men Regret Lost Fatherhood.”

Their presence at the march, along with male leaders such as Vice President J.D. Vance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, exemplified their determination to hold fast to their beliefs. President Donald Trump also shared a video message, “We will again stand proudly for families and for life.”

“It’s so beautiful to see, because if we had more guys like that, back when Norma McCorvey was around, and Roe v. Wade started, I don’t think we’d be where we are,” Morana said. “It’s strong men and boys growing up who will defend their women and put them up on a pedestal like they belong and really celebrate motherhood.”
