About this sermon
Only a few weeks away from the third Republican presidential debate, one pro-lifer is issuing a call to all of the candidates. Writing on Town Hall's website, Benjamin Watson said in part, "The stance the GOP presidential nominee adopts with respect to abortion could influence decades worth of policy and political debate." The author and former NFL tight end also says pro-lifers should be asking candidates, "do you really cherish human life?" and "are you going to protect America's most vulnerable mothers?" Benjamin Watson spent 15 seasons in the NFL. He also is the author of "The New Fight for Life: Roe, Race and a Pro-Life Commitment to Justice." Watson shares why he wrote the piece for Town Hall and what he heard in the first 2 GOP debates that led him to take action. Watson praises Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for some of their pro-life remarks. He tells us what they have said that he likes. In his op-ed, Watson notes that more than 90% of abortions in the US occur before 13 weeks of pregnancy. That means they would be unaffected by a 15-week heartbeat bill. Watson discusses what the answer is here. He explains whether he thinks a candidate could or would try to win on a platform seeking a 12-week ban. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
