People concerned that the issue is politically polarized.

It's an interesting thing. The Republican Party, which I remember, is overwhelmingly pro-life.

The Democrats now are overwhelmingly on the other side.

I think in case that's not a good thing for society that we don't all see our stake,

of course it's a bad thing that we don't all have a shared understanding of what the

value of life is and how it drives every issue.

At the same time, what I find fascinating is that it's now the defining, the defining issue

between these two vast camps in American society.

That's how important the abortion issue is.

The political alignment of the entire country is not built around a war and peace.

It's not built around the size of the welfare state or tax policy.

Everybody has opinions, but on life it's like the Red Sea.

I think that tells us something. We need a better answer than alone we've got now.

Conservatives are fond of saying that politics is downstream of culture.

But politics can affect culture too, as Chuck Donovan learned throughout his career crafting public policy

to discourage abortion and foster a culture of life.

He worked as legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee,

helped to lead the Family Research Council for nearly 20 years,

and served in government as a writer for President Reagan.

He has been in the fight for life for decades and offers a perspective that few today can rival.

Right now I would strongly recommend you go to Hello.com slash Choose Life,

because today's world is a scary one.
