Death Camp Survivor Facing Prison Time Urges Pro-Life Groups To Back Trump

Eva Edl, an 89-year-old survivor of a communist concentration camp who was recently found guilty of charges related to praying outside of an abortion clinic, said that denouncing Trump over his views on abortion is not the best way forward for the movement.

“I do not think that pro-life groups should denounce Trump, but they should rather try to educate him on the value of human life,” Edl told The Daily Wire on Wednesday. 

“How can we expect Trump to know this truth when most pastors have not taught this biblical fact to their own congregation, and were silent throughout the years while pro-abortion voices devalued human life?” she said. “He needs to know that God created human life in His own image.”

Catechesis is an ongoing debate in the Catholic Church too, but I don't think that's precisely the issue with Trump. He's instinctively looking for a deal to negotiate on abortion that will net him the most benefit. In the end, though, Edl's core argument remains: do you vote for someone willing to work through the issue on a state-by-state basis, or the candidate that would make all abortions legal through an entire pregnancy?
