‘Feminists Lied’ tour aims to challenge abortion, feminism narratives on college campuses

Summary
Turning Point USA and Students for Life of America are launching their first joint campus tour, “Feminists Lied: Prove Me Wrong,” with eight events at universities including North Texas, Cincinnati, Arizona, and Washington. SFLA president Kristan Hawkins will debate students about abortion, feminism, motherhood, and women’s equality, using a format associated with the late Charlie Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” events. The groups say the tour aims to challenge claims that abortion and modern feminism have benefited women, while promoting a pro-life view of motherhood and unborn life.

Biblical Context
The central question is whether the unborn child is merely tissue without moral standing or a living human person deserving protection. Psalm 139:13-16 presents God as forming and knowing the psalmist in the womb, treating prenatal life as part of God’s purposeful work. That passage directly supports the pro-life claim that life before birth has dignity and significance, although it does not by itself settle every modern legal or policy question. Luke 1:41-44 gives an especially direct New Testament example: John is described as responding while still in the womb, and the unborn John is treated as a child within the account of Jesus’ conception and birth. This supports the Christian understanding that unborn life is not morally equivalent to an inanimate object. Exodus 20:13 states the prohibition against murder and establishes the broader biblical duty not to destroy innocent human life. Applying that command specifically to abortion requires the additional theological judgment that the unborn child is a human person, a judgment supported by the other passages but debated in the article’s opposing viewpoints. The discussion of motherhood also has a legitimate biblical connection. Scripture honors childbearing and family responsibility without presenting motherhood as a woman’s only legitimate calling. Psalm 127:3 describes children as a gift from the Lord, while Galatians 3:28 affirms equal standing in Christ across distinctions including male and female. These passages can support honoring motherhood and the equal dignity of women, but they do not endorse every claim made by either side about feminism, careers, or public policy. The article presents an organized pro-life argument; Scripture supplies principles concerning human life and dignity, not a direct evaluation of this particular campus tour.

John the Baptist is described as a child who responds while in the womb, providing a New Testament example consistent with treating unborn life as personal and significant.
Children are described as a heritage and gift from the Lord, supporting the article’s discussion of whether motherhood and children should be regarded as valuable rather than burdensome.
