“To have Donald Trump be the standard-bearer for the pro-life movement is horrific, because we’re on the verge of overcoming so many of the bad stereotypes about the movement” as driven by “old white guys with lots of money telling women what to do,” said Charles Camosy, a bioethics professor at Fordham University and a board member of Democrats for Life.
