Battle Belongs with Coleton Furlow ft. Democratic Presidential Candidate, Terrisa Bukovinac

As the Left shifts further and further Left, they are disowning anyone who does not fall in line on every issue, especially pro-life Democrats. Terrisa Bukovinac, anti-abortion activist and 2024 Democratic Presidential Candidate, is one of those Democrats. She explains her position and experience as a pro-life Democrat on this episode of Battle Belongs. 

Bukovinac was moved to join the pro-life movement after learning about the secular pro-life movement and the horrific process of abortions, including the dismembering of the baby. She was motivated to become active in the movement in the 2016 election when she realized that President Trump’s pro-life message wasn’t able to reach pro-life groups on the Left. After being fed up with not finding representation for herself and other pro-life Democrats, she decided to be that representation herself, and she founded Pro-Life San Francisco. That same lack of representation prompted her to run as a Democrat candidate for president in 2024.  

Bukovinac’s work in the pro-life movement includes recovering the bodies of aborted children, raising awareness of the horrors and violence of abortion, and debating those willing to on this important issue. She has met fierce resistance from the Left, however, with Democrat leaders and elected officials unwilling to have conversations about abortion and pro-abortion groups launching campaigns to silence pro-life Democrats like Bukovinac.  

“The Democratic establishment will do anything, in my opinion, to silence pro-life Democrats. That’s a big problem for them, and you can see they primary any candidates aggressively who espouse any kind of concern about even late term abortion,” observed Bukovinac.  

She is striving to change the Democrat Party with her campaign to make the party more open and welcoming to pro-life Democrats.  

“We are Democrats. We do not agree with Republican policies but we will not be complicit in child killing. That is the message. That is what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to raise up these pro-life Democrats to give them the courage to say who are they, to stop being silenced, to stop being afraid,” explained Bukovinac.
