President Biden, Speak to the March for Life

Dear Mr. President,

Your inaugural address expounded eloquently on “that most elusive of things in a democracy: unity.” In a nation exhausted by polarization and battered for nearly a year by a pandemic, these stirring words were welcome. Small wonder that your speech won praise both at home and around the world.

I am writing to ask that you put that promise of unity into action with a gesture that could reassure one group of people you singled out: Americans who did not vote for you. Mr. President, you have a splendid opportunity to transcend partisanship, exactly as you promised at the inauguration. You can do what no Democratic president has done before you: share a message of solidarity with the March for Life on January 29.
