In a recent interview, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended her pro-life views. Sanders’ comments came in a rare personal profile published in the New Yorker, which mainly focused on maligning Sanders for serving in the Trump Administration (look no further than the title: “Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Trump’s Battering Ram”).

She told reporter Paige Williams her pro-life views were “non-negotiable,” and stated, “One of the things that makes Americans unique is that we value life. We think each life has intrinsic value and worth, whether you are a baby in the womb or an elderly woman.”

Sanders’ comments highlight one of the key reasons for Trump’s win in the 2016 election that many pundits did not see coming. Many Americans, like Sanders, value life from conception to natural death and want elected officials who reflect those values.

Sanders’ articulation of her pro-life views is straightforward and uncompromising; even as pundits continue to ridicule her sometimes ruthlessly, she has remained consistent in articulating the pro-life values that many Americans hold.
