Prime Minister Trudeau is one who makes this connection regularly, and distributes funds accordingly.

Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa doesn’t see it that way. Leader of New Wave Feminists, a pro-life feminist group, she became both pregnant and pro-life at age 16. She stars in a new documentary, Pro-Life Feminist, along with two other feminist women active in the pro-life movement. Pro-life feminists, says Hernon-De La Rosa, don’t see only the woman or only the child: “We want to support and protect two people.”

“When they [women in crisis pregnancy situations] look for help they see Planned Parenthood, not the pro-life community. …Our whole society, including the pro-life movement, needs to do much, more more to support pregnancy women in distress.”
