Interview: NFL star Ben Watson explains why he’s at the March for Life

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 27, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- Baltimore Ravens tight end Ben Watson brought the massive crowd at the March for Life rally this afternoon to a fever pitch of excitement. His challenge was to men, who he called on to "rise up and lead the charge” in defense of life.

LifeSite caught up with Watson backstage after his address. The father of five is in his 13th season with the NFL and explained why he would come out to the march when many others in such a public position wouldn’t brave the controversy. “Because life is important for all of us, it’s something that, as a person, I want to stand for because you’re talking about the voiceless, people who can’t stand for themselves,” he said. “So it doesn’t matter to me if you’re preborn or someone that’s on the street that needs help it’s all the same for me, we’ve got to defend those who can’t.”

Watson has also dared to publicly profess his Christianity and told LifeSiteNews that he would encourage young Christians to express their faith in public. “Being a believer is not something you just hold on the side, it’s not an addendum, it’s who you are, it’s critical to your being, you are a new creation,” he said. “You’ve been made new and so you speak from that. And that’s how you live. It’s not something that you do only when it’s popular.”
