Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a strong pro-life statement in an interview with ETWN News, where he insisted that abortion creates in the unborn “the greatest victims of our society.”

Butker was recalling his trip to Washington, D.C., where he delivered a pro-life statement at the White House when the team went there to celebrate their Super Bowl win last year. The player wore a tie with the slogan “Vulnerari Praesidio” on it, a Latin term meaning “Protect the most vulnerable.” The tie also featured a pin in the shape of a tiny pair of an infant’s feet.

The Super Bowl winner said he felt it necessary to stick up for the unborn in that public space.

“The unborn, to me, are the greatest victims of our society,” Butker told ETWN, Fox News reported. “They don’t have a voice. They don’t necessarily look like humans. They’re not very big. They can’t fight for themselves. There’s not a lot of people that are fighting for them.”

“And I just think it’s a great atrocity that’s occurring in this country with massacring the unborn. I felt like there’s no better place to send this message than to the masses and to represent the unborn at a place like the White House where, unfortunately, their voice is not heard.”

Still, while defending his actions for last year’s Super Bowl White House visit, Butker said he had no plans to make any such statements if the team visited the White House this year to celebrate their Super Bowl 58 win.

With their win this year, the Chiefs became the first NFL team to win two consecutive Super Bowl championships since the New England Patriots performed the feat in 2005.

Butker also recently made news when he decried a funeral for an atheist, transgender activist that was held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, calling the ceremony a travesty that was meant to openly “make fun of our Lord.”

Democrat Resolution ‘Declares Vision for Future Liberated from All Abortion Restrictions’

More than two dozen Democrat lawmakers recently reintroduced a bicameral resolution hailing the “courage, compassion, and dedication” of abortionists.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Sen. Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI), and Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) led 24 of their colleagues in reintroducing The Abortion Provider Appreciation Day Resolution on March 12. Part of the resolution calls for limitless abortions, confirming Democrats’ position that abortions should be available throughout pregnancy for any reason.

The resolution calls on Congress to declare “a vision for a future liberated from all abortion restrictions and bans” and affirm “the commitment of Congress to working toward that goal in partnership with providers, patients, advocates, and their communities.”

The resolution further “demonstrates a commitment to abortion providers and staff” by recognizing March 10, 2024, as “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” according to the press release. It also hails communities that support abortionists and affirms the commitment of Congress to abortionists’ safety and ability to end the lives of unborn babies.

The resolution condemns the Supreme Court’s June 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and returned the issue of abortion to individual states. Roe had, for 50 years, invented a Constitutional “right” to end the lives of unborn babies.

“Following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights for people across the country continue to be attacked and the challenges faced by abortion providers, staff, and patients continue to grow,” Hirono said in a statement:

I am proud to reintroduce this resolution to honor these essential reproductive health care providers who help patients receive the high-quality care they deserve, even in the face of violence, threats, and intimidation. On Abortion Providers Appreciation Day, we honor the bravery of these health professionals across our country and reaffirm our commitment to protecting access to abortion care for all.

The resolution comes as Democrats continue to refuse to state limits on abortion that they would support. Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have also made abortion central to reelection campaigns ahead of November and often accuse Republicans of being extreme for supporting laws that protect the unborn.

Several pro-abortion organizations, including Planned Parenthood Federation of America, have endorsed the resolution.
