After Roe… There is Life

 

Roe v. Wade has been a dark cloud over America, taking 62 million lives since its inception. Now, its time runs short. But even when Roe is overturned, abortion will still exist in America. Our mission? Plan for a pro-life America after Roe.

Would you like to know what will happen in your state after Roe?  The Family Policy Alliance (FPA), a public policy partner with Focus on the Family, has created an invaluable tool to help you learn the law in your state and what will change for you if the Supreme Court of the United States overturns or pulls back on Roe. 

Find out where your state stands here.  Several Regent Law alumni and law students were behind the research and creation of this excellent resource.

Thomas Glessner, president of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, a nationwide organization that represents nearly 1600 pregnancy resource centers around the country that protect women and their children, was featured in a recent podcast published by WORLD.:

GLESSNER: I think 15 states have 'trigger laws' that state if Roe vs. Wade is ever reversed, that state will revert back to what it was before 1973.

He believes that those states without trigger laws will move quickly—one way or another.

GLESSNER: Some will probably follow the Texas lead with heartbeat bills, which essentially bans surgical abortions. Other states maybe go the Mississippi route and put a stricter limit on when abortions can happen. On the other side, other states like California, New York, Massachusetts, go the other way. And so we're going to see a greater divide than ever.

According to Glessner, that means pregnancy centers in states with stricter abortion laws will see an immediate jump in the number of women seeking assistance.

GLESSNER: …they're just gonna see a lot more women, because women won't have access to it. And so, we have always said, You need to just prepare your operations, always improve, get more resources, be more professional than ever…

But Glessner adds in states that legalize abortion, pregnancy centers will probably become the main battle front.

GLESSNER: For the centers in states like California, the battle is going to be vicious, they're going to be the central focus of the other side's ire. And they're going to have some tough political battles in those states.

Family restoration requires protection of women and their children.  Your state just might offer that After Roe.

After Roe… There is Life.
