If you don’t want to read the 213 page opinion yourself, here are some brief notes I took. First and foremost: “Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” The Court argues that […]
On June 22, we asked our social media followers: “If Dobbs does end up overturning Roe v. Wade, how will you mark the occasion?” Little did we know that Roe would be thrown on the ash heap of history just two days later! Here are a few of our favorite responses: Madison U.: Coincidentally I […]
1. Abortion bans mean women won’t be able to get treatment for ectopic pregnancy. There are currently no abortion laws that outlaw treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Quite the opposite, many state laws explicitly exempt treatment of ectopic pregnancy from their definitions of abortion. For example, last year’s Texas Heartbeat Law incorporated Texas’ Health & Safety […]
As you have surely heard by now, the Supreme Court released its final opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson and officially overturned Roe v. Wade. The majority opinion held that abortion is not a constitutional right, allowing states to enact their own abortion legislation. Although this is not the end of the story—the pro-life movement will […]
A final decision in Dobbs, the case that could finally reverse Roe v. Wade and allow states to protect the right to life, is expected by the end of this month. Keep an eye on the Supreme Court website tomorrow and Thursday for official announcements. Pro-life organizations are organizing “Life is Louder” rallies to mark […]
A recurring flaw with modern claims about induced abortion legality in early America is that they are seen through the lens of modern medicine. However, in the eighteenth century, there were no ultrasound images, no fetal stethoscopes, no home pregnancy tests, and really no way to reliably confirm pregnancy until a woman could feel movement […]
A coalition of pro-life organizations led by the National Right to Life Committee has released an open letter urging legislators “to reject any measure that seeks to criminalize women who have abortions.” Secular Pro-Life is one of the signatories. Citing various studies showing that abortion can have a negative impact on mothers’ mental health, the […]
Abortion supporters in Congress are incensed that the Supreme Court may soon allow states to set their own abortion regulations, such as protecting babies in the second and third trimesters. Their solution: H.R. 3755 (the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act”), an abortion industry wish list. Thankfully, it failed in the Senate on a 49-51 vote. […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Politico leaked a draft of the Supreme Court opinion that will overturn Roe v. Wade. (Don’t have time to read the whole thing? Here’s a good summary.) The final version is expected this summer. The opinion rejects Roe as “egregiously wrong from the start,” because it was […]
I follow quite a few pro-abortion activists on Twitter, and they are in a poor mood. That’s unsurprising, given that the Supreme Court could be a few short weeks away from reversing Roe. Already, pro-life states around the country have made strides in protecting babies that would not have been feasible a few short years […]
