Why The March For Life Represents MLK’s Legacy Better Than The Women’s March Does

Martin Luther King Jr.’s oldest son and daughter-in-law spoke at the 2020 D.C. Women’s March, which took place during the MLK holiday weekend. However, Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy will be better honored at the March for Life than at the Women’s March.

Andrea Waters King said, “Each of us is made by our creator…[and we must] respect the dignity and worth of every man, woman and child.” Ironically, she said these words in front of a crowd that held countless pro-abortion signs, from “Safe abortion is a human right” and “No uterus, no opinion” to “I am not ovary reacting” and “Keep your tiny hands off my reproductive rights.”

The National Women’s March platform is broad, but it becomes clear to anyone who attends that there are two priorities: getting Donald Trump out of office (by any means necessary) and defending the right to an abortion.

When asked to name a policy that has hindered women’s equality, one woman immediately named health care. “They want all of those babies born,” she said, “but once they’re born they don’t want to help them at all.” Whenever women at the march mentioned health care, they were always referring to abortion.
