If you weren’t sure if the movement to defend life from conception to natural death was winning or not, the following list should help. Of course the media is in bed with big abortion business so their coverage is skewed to make people think the pro-abortion view is most popular. Wrong.

As Stanek shares, from a number of articles which can be seen here, there is overwhelming evidence to support the fact that the pro-life view is not just winning in courts, but winning in the court of public opinion. More people in America now identify as pro-life and believe abortion should be restricted to extreme cases. The push to protect children with disabilities, children of rape and incest, and even to protect children based on their gender is growing, quickly.

Despite the fact that we have the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history in the White House, more pro-life laws have been passed in the past several years than in the past three decades combined. Despite the media partnership with big abortion business people remain unconvinced that abortion is not murder. As many pro-abortion advocates rightly feared, science is proving the humanity of the unborn in undeniable ways; convincing people more than ever that human life does indeed begin at conception.

Based on the articles Jill Stanek lists in her post at LifeNews.com, here are the 15 reasons abortion advocates say they are losing to the pro-life movement:

1. Obama’s election and reelection prompted pro-life groups to focus on state avenues to pass legislation rather than federal.
2. Due to the Republican wave of 2010, in part in response to Obama’s election in 2008, there has indeed been a huge spike in pro-life laws passed on the state level – 226 since 2011, more than the entire previous three decades combined.
3. The convoluted passage of Obamacare in 2010 was “rocket fuel” to the pro-life movement…which led to the introduction of some of those bills.
4. A profusion of abortion clinic closures, 81 in 2013 alone, according to Operation Rescue. The number of abortion clinics has decreased by 73% to 759 from a high of 2,176 in 1991.
5. Moves to defund Planned Parenthood.
6. The Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision.
7. The Supreme Court’s buffer zone decision.
8. The abortion lobby’s inability to reframe the debate into one about discrimination. “Unfortunately, even the name ‘pro-choice’ reinforces that the movement is about acts and not identity,” writes Michaelson.
9. The abortion lobby’s inability to reframe the issue into one all can relate to.
10. The abortion lobby’s shortage of poster children. Sandra Fluke, for instance, was a dud.
11. Their opponents (us!) are “sophisticated… smart and methodical,” according to Michaelson.
12. Even liberals as a political body aren’t united in support of abortion, because as Michaelson admits, “Abortion is a kind of murder.” Ew.
13. No Fortune 500 corporations are lining up to support abortion, as they are with the homosexual lobby, which would bring “movement dollars and public awareness,” writes Michaelson.
14. “Feminism has an image problem,” writes Michaelson.
15. Religion: “Secular arguments about the separation of church and state may play well to the base,” writes Michaelson. “But they don’t move the middle.”

This list is certainly cause for optimism and celebration. But there is still much work to be done. We can’t slow down now or we will surely begin to concede ground. We must continue to push, continue to fight, and continue to do everything in our power to defend the defenseless, and speak for those with no voice. I firmly believe that with continued effort, much prayer, and God’s grace that we will see the overturning of Roe V. Wade and the day when abortion is no longer considered “health care.”

The one thing we have going for us that the abortion movement does not is that we are actively training the next generation to be pro-life. Abortion advocates can’t say that because, as has been noted, they killed them.
