Sen. Josh Hawley and ADF attorney Erin Hawley launch pro-life nonprofit

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley and his wife, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorney Erin Hawley, have started a nonprofit, Love Life Initiative, to promote pro-life and family values, especially within elections.

Key Takeaways:

• Sen. Josh and Erin Hawley have launched the Love Life Initiative to counter pro-abortion legislation through advertising and referendums.

• The couple says they want to "build a culture that is pro-life and pro-family."

• They also want to combat rising euthanasia and suicide rates, so that everyone can see "the God-given value of life."

The Details:

According to its website, Love Life Initiative will work to counter pro-abortion legislation "through thoughtful, far-reaching advertising campaigns that promote the sanctity of life, advance referendums that protect life, and identify and defeat harmful proposals in statehouses across the nation."

The organization is the work of Sen. Josh Hawley and his wife, Erin. Erin Hawley, an attorney at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), worked on Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act, which ultimately led to the overturn of Roe v. Wade at the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Hawleys, who have three children, hope to advocate for life by providing more support for abortion-minded women.

“Most women have an abortion because of a lack of support. We want to change that. We want to build a culture that is pro-life and pro-family, and we can do that by providing broader support for women in need,” Erin Hawley told Daily Wire. 

Their website further explains the organization's goals:

The heart of the Love Life Initiative is our burning desire to restore a conviction that life is sacred, life is good, and life is worth protecting. Scoring pro-life victories in the courtroom is important, but if we as a nation fail to see the inherent value of each and every life, we will lose the argument on abortion and the very soul of our nation.

They also plan to advocate for life at all stages, saying:

We live in a world that doesn’t prioritize or see the God-given value of life. Suicide rates are sky high, euthanasia is gaining traction worldwide, and people are losing their lives to overdose like never before— it’s no wonder the precious lives of the unborn are so trivialized. We want to change that.

The Bottom Line:

“We believe there needs to be a strong voice advocating for life and making it easier to start a family,” Sen. Hawley said. “That is fundamental to who we are as Americans and the future of our country. And it is how we will be judged as a society. This is a generational project, not just about the next election cycle.”
