AJ Hurley’s blunt words at the March for Life cut through the usual platitudes: the so-called Sexual Revolution did not liberate women, it paved the road to abortion, online prostitution, and the OnlyFans culture that commodifies human intimacy. Conservatives should cheer his honesty — someone had to name the rot, and Hurley has stood on the front lines of exposing how the culture’s lies became public policy and profit.
For decades the left promised freedom through sexual license and then shrugged when that license produced broken families, fatherless children, and a trillion-dollar industry built on exploitation. This was never empowerment; it was a transfer of power from families and communities to anonymous corporations and government-funded bureaucracies that profit from destruction. The historical through-line from Margaret Sanger’s birth-control crusade through modern institutions is precisely the argument conservative activists are making to restore dignity and protection for the vulnerable.
Look at the facts on platforms like OnlyFans: what started as a niche income stream exploded into a mainstream marketplace for selling intimacy, drawing millions of users and creators into an economy of paid exhibition. This reality matters because it’s not a neutral technological development — it reflects a cultural acceptance of transactional sexuality that normalizes what used to be private and sacred. Conservatives must call out the economic incentives that encourage young men and women to monetize their bodies as if human worth is measured in clicks and subscriptions.
AJ Hurley’s activism is not just words; he and fellow pro-life leaders have been arresting public attention by exposing abuses at places like UCSF and by confronting the ugly markets that arise when life is devalued. When activists uncover evidence of fetal organ trafficking or bring the truth about late-term abortion practices into daylight, they force a conversation the mainstream media refuses to have. That courage to name crimes and demand accountability is the kind of moral clarity our side must keep supplying, not surrendering to the culture of silence.
The remedy is simple but demanding: restore the primacy of family, teach chastity and self-control, and rebuild civic institutions that reward virtue instead of vice. Organizations like the White Rose Resistance are trying to do precisely that — training citizens to resist the cultural currents that led us here and to fight for laws and norms that protect human dignity. If conservatives want to win the long war for America’s soul, we need to keep turning the facts into action and the outrage into ballots and laws that rebuild the moral architecture of our nation.
Let every hardworking American know this: the fight for life and for a sane sexual ethic is also a fight for the dignity of work, the stability of marriage, and the future of our country. Proud patriots showed up in Washington this year because they understand what’s at stake — not just policy, but civilization itself. Stand with the March for Life, support local pregnancy centers, and reject any ideology that pretends commodifying people is freedom; that is how we will reclaim hope for the next generation.
