The pro-life movement is a bunch of losers.

No way.

Hey, everyone.

It's Kristen Hawkins with Explicably Pro-Life.

Thank you for tuning in.

Today we're talking about... Today I want to talk about us being losers a little bit.

This is going to be a fun one, but it's going to be difficult, and it's going to kind of take some honesty and some realism.

Because today I want to talk about where the pro-life movement has failed.

I mean, we've been around for 40-plus years, so we can't always be winners. And we're going to make mistakes along the way, especially starting this nascent young pro-life movement to where

we are, this sophisticated pro-life movement today, we've made some mistakes along the way.

So I want to go over some of those mistakes.

I don't want to call out specific things or specific people.

I want to keep this at a high level.

But I do want to talk about some overarching themes, things that happen over and over and over

again that I think we need to learn from. And quite frankly, I think we need to approve. So I'm

probably going to offend some of you. I apologize. You know, you can email me anytime at

Kristen, Studentsfor Life.org, if you really want to complain, or you can put your comments

down below on YouTube, or you can find me on Instagram, Kristen Mercer-Hawkins, or email on Facebook, Kristen Mercer-Hawkins, and let me know how you really feel. I don't want to silence anybody, but sorry in advance if I piss you off. Okay, so where the pro-life movement has failed. One of the first things I think that we tend to do is while we know the mission doesn't

change, you know, what we're trying to do in the pro-life movement and make abortion

illegal and thinkable, I think sometimes we fail to forget that strategies and tactics do change.

And guess what? Newsfl slash, that's okay.
