The recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade was a long-awaited victory for anti-abortion activists. However, it also marked a turning point for those hoping to see the landmark decision protecting access to abortion overturned. Pro-life groups had been preparing for this ruling for years, understanding that the battle extends beyond the courts and into state legislatures and public opinion. Moving forward, they are focused on working at the state level to pass pro-life laws, supporting pregnancy resource centers, and ensuring clear communication from GOP lawmakers on their stance on abortion.
With Democrats in control of the White House and Senate, anti-abortion groups have shifted their focus to state legislatures. They are working to establish pro-life protections in each state, supporting pregnant mothers, and advocating for greater education and resources. These efforts have yielded results, with 24 states enacting abortion restrictions in the year following the Dobbs ruling. Additionally, there has been a rise in public support for abortion access, as shown by recent polls. However, anti-abortion groups believe that many Americans still support limits on abortion and are determined to continue their fight.
Looking ahead to the 2024 presidential election, anti-abortion activists are hopeful that the Republican party will address the issue directly. They are urging presidential candidates to embrace federal legislation that restricts abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and are prepared to rally lawmakers and the public behind the cause. They recognize that this fight will be ongoing, emphasizing that the repeal of Roe v. Wade is just the beginning and that there is still much work to be done.
