Pro-Justice Means Pro-Life
By BENJAMIN WATSON

You can't have one without the other.
​
The year 2020 was yet another inflection point in the American conversation about justice. Once again, we experienced as a nation how different justice issues intersect and converge; we saw firsthand how the fight for racial justice joins the fight for social justice, and how justice for the sick and those suffering from disease is a matter of equal justice for everyone. Most importantly, we learned that unless every Black life matters, we can’t have justice at all. The question is: Will we emerge from this latest chapter any different than before?
As far as we’ve come, one thing is still missing from the national justice conversation today: a recognition of dignity for pre-born human life. All too often, Americans still treat abortion and pro-life issues as separate from our collective fight for justice. The truth is that being pro-justice means being pro-life; every pro-life American is fighting for justice, and every pro-justice American needs to be pro-life.
I know my position is bound to cause some controversy. But truth be told, I think a little controversy can be a good thing. We sometimes need to be shaken up a bit in order to hear the call for justice clearly. And as long as we are ignoring the pain and suffering of the victims of abortion, we aren’t hearing that call.

What links different justice issues together is a shared commitment to equal dignity for all human life, from the womb to the tomb. Justice is about protecting those who deserve protection, and punishing those who deserve punishment. Justice seeks to remedy the destructive impact of abusive treatment in the lives of individuals and in the societies they live in. I find the call to justice almost perfectly summed up in the words of Proverbs 31:8: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
