united states pro-life move·ment

The United States pro-life movement is a social and political movement in the United States opposing on moral or sectarian grounds elective abortion and usually supporting its legal prohibition or restriction. Advocates generally argue that the human fetus is a person and therefore has a right to life. The pro-life movement includes a variety of organizations, with no single centralized decision-making body. There are diverse arguments and rationales for the pro-life stance. Some anti-abortion activists allow for exceptional circumstances such as incest, rape, severe fetal defects or when the woman's health is at risk. Although anti-abortion views have existed throughout US history, especially emanating from the Catholic Church, the politically active pro-life movement grew especially following the Supreme Court 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which struck down most state laws restricting abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. In the United States the movement is associated with several Christian religious groups, especially the Catholic Church, and is frequently, but not exclusively, allied with the Republican Party. The movement is also supported by non-mainstream pro-life feminists. The movement seeks to reverse Roe v. Wade and to promote legislative changes or constitutional amendment, such as the Human Life Amendment, that prohibits or at least restricts abortion.
