More often than not, when we hear about “political” athletes, we’re usually referring to football players who take knees in order to protest something they don’t even understand.
But this? Different story.
New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson is using his influence and resources to save babies.
According to Life News, Watson and his wife are making a world of difference for Maryland’s Severna Park Pregnancy Clinic. Thanks to them, the pregnancy clinic has a new “state-of-the-art 3D/4D ultrasound machine.”
Amazing!
To celebrate this gift—which he made through the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission and Focus on the Family’s Option Ultrasound Program—the staff, board, and two client families granted their benefactors’ wish to tour a pregnancy clinic serving primarily women at risk for abortion from the Baltimore area.
Pregnancy Clinic Ministries’ CEO Pamela Palumbo led the tour, explaining how her three clinics, including one in Bowie and another in Annapolis, defend life against Maryland’s completely unrestricted abortion industry.
Via ultrasound, they let women see what’s happening inside their bodies early in pregnancy—vital knowledge for the 7,000 women who call them each year, most of whom start out asking, “How much are your abortions?”
Interestingly enough, the clinic USED to be the Gynecare Center– an abortion clinic. However, it’s been the Severna Park Pregnancy Clinic since 2005.
Even seven years later, Palumbo discovered, the abortion clinic had never changed the address on its website, leading women to find the life-affirming clinic welcoming them in its place.
By the time the Watsons came for their tour, they found all the rooms decorated and completely repainted—with one exception. After praying over the new ultrasound machine with the clinic board and staff, the Watsons were invited through wide accordion doors into the “prayer room,” once the scene of unreported numbers of late-term abortions.
The room is covered with scriptures. There’s also a rug on the floor covering up a blood stain, which they say is “testifying to the room’s history.”
Powerful.

You go, Watson. We need more role models like that.
