After decades of working to protect children from abortion, pro-lifers have successfully advanced legislation that challenges the bogus legal holding of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in our country. The challenge comes from a 2018 Mississippi law protecting babies in the womb starting at 15 weeks that passed with overwhelming support in both chambers. Mississippi’s only abortion business, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, challenged the law — and that fight is now in the hands of the Supreme Court.
As we anticipate the decision, it’s a good moment to assess the advances that prove that this historic moment will rightfully restore respect and dignity to children, women and science. There is no need to fear a future without Roe.
First, it's important to note that while Roe v. Wade made abortion legal, a change in Roe would not make abortion illegal nationwide. If the Supreme Court returns the decision-making power to the states, the fight to abolish abortion will become a state-by-state effort. Some states — like Texas — will protect their children, and others states that have vowed to protect the abortion industry instead of their children — Illinois, California and Maryland — will seek to continue killing innocent children.
