The recent CPAC panel on abortion brought together top conservative leaders to discuss protecting life in America. Speakers slammed pro-abortion policies and pushed for stronger support for mothers and babies. They argued that Democrats have gone too far by allowing abortion up until birth in some states.
Penny Nance from Concerned Women for America called abortion an extremist position that hurts women and children. She highlighted how babies feel pain by 16 weeks and deserve protection. The panel criticized media lies claiming conservatives don’t care about women while praising pregnancy centers that provide real help.
Brandi Swindell of Stanton Healthcare revealed shocking stories of women forced into abortions against their will. Her group collected 2,000 cases of abuse and wants laws punishing those who pressure women to end pregnancies. She said Planned Parenthood enables this cruelty instead of offering true healthcare options.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared how her state gives millions to pregnancy centers and adoption services. “We’re not just anti-abortion – we’re pro-life,” she said while announcing new funding for diaper banks and parenting classes. Other states like Texas now teach adoption options in schools.
Project 2025 plans for a future Republican president include stopping taxpayer-funded abortions nationwide. Conservatives want strict reporting rules for states still allowing abortions to expose how many late-term procedures occur. They aim to reverse Biden policies promoting abortion drugs through the mail.
The panel warned about November ballot measures trying to make abortion a right in 10 states. Katie Glenn Daniel from Susan B Anthony List urged voters to protect existing pro-life laws preventing gruesome late-term abortions. Speakers said life issues could decide key Senate races and the White House.
Pro-life leaders celebrated over 20 states passing strong protections since Roe v Wade fell but said more work remains. They blasted Democrats for spreading fear about pregnancy healthcare while ignoring how abortion harms women’s mental health and kills innocent children.
The fiery discussion ended with calls for Christians to vote their values this election. Speakers said saving babies requires both changing laws and building a culture that supports struggling mothers through churches and community groups fighting “the abortion industry’s lies.”
