‘Unborn children are dying’: Pro-life leaders challenge ICE detention of pregnant women
—
(OSV News) ─ Dozens of national pro-life leaders are calling for the reinstatement of federal guidance that would generally prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement from detaining pregnant women and new mothers in a letter sent to the Trump administration.
“Medical advocacy groups and investigative reporting have documented prolonged detention of women with high-risk pregnancies, delayed emergency treatment, miscarriages, and stillbirths,” the Feb. 13 letter, signed by more than 30 pro-life leaders across the ideological and religious spectrum, reads. “Simply stated, unborn children are dying because of this policy.”
