The 2019 theme is “Unique from Day One: Pro-Life is Pro-Science.”
Shapiro has been a vocal supporter of the pro-life movement and regularly uses his site’s YouTube channel to speak out against abortion. One of his most recent arguments was that if Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had been pro-choice, “he would have been confirmed with 100 votes.”
