One week before the March for Life, our largest and most consistent demonstration of peaceful resistance to injustice, and Americans remain confronted with two competing visions of womanhood.
On one side: mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and young professionals gather in Washington, D.C. to affirm the dignity of unborn life and the irreplaceable vocation of woman as mother, nurturer, and moral cornerstone.
On the other: political and cultural elites argue before the highest court in the land to erase the very definition of womanhood.
Young women passionate about sports are taking home the message that the concerns of boys who think they are girls—less than 1% of the population—are somehow more valid than the suffering being inflicted on 50% of the population. Hundreds of thousands of girls are expected to surrender fair competition, bodily privacy, and protection from serious injury in deference to an idol named "inclusion."
There is a reason for such insanity.
After fifty years of no-fault divorce, abortion-on-demand, and the glorification of sexual license, many young women have inherited a culture that offers them "autonomy" but robs them of identity. Trained by the media, academia, and government to distrust men, delay marriage, and deny motherhood, they are sold a false freedom.
Polling shows that the youngest generation of women, GenZ—particularly those who vote reliably left—place wealth and emotional stability as their highest values. Marriage, motherhood, and faith rank lowest.
But such indoctrination doesn't stop women from exercising the feminine genius of self-sacrificing love. It merely redirects it—dangerously.
Women who vote Democratic—as those polls indicate—have been systematically trained to erase themselves from public life; to surrender biological reality, personal safety, and even their innate desire for motherhood and family.
Catholics and conservatives must understand that vital civilizational goods hang in the balance when human dignity and human nature are not rightly understood and defended. We cannot protect the vulnerable if we do not defend objective truth.
The recovery of the family depends upon the recovery of womanhood. The recovery of womanhood depends upon the recovery of the truth about human life in the womb. And all of it hinges upon the truth about how we are made, revealed by reason and nature but also by God.
Our nation needs a revival and a call to Jesus who is Truth.
As Phyllis Schlafly said: "In the end, the argument for life, for family, and for womanhood is not won in courtrooms or classrooms—it is won in the conscience of the American people."
More than ever, go forward bravely!
