“Under Gov. Abbott’s leadership, Texas lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have delivered yet another victory for Texas women and their unborn children. The safeguards newly signed into law will stop the expansion of mail-order abortion drugs that are four times as dangerous as surgical abortions…

“The American people are eager to modernize our laws to reflect decades of science showing that unborn children are as human as you and me – they have beating hearts and can feel pain. But Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi want to crush debate and impose a national ‘Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act’,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.

“The American people are eager to modernize our laws to reflect decades of science showing that unborn children are as human as you and me. Abortion is not health care and the deceptively-named ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ is about propping up the abortion industry, not protecting women,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.

We find ourselves in a tremendous moment during the struggle to end abortion. For the first time in decades, there is a nearly universal feeling of hope among pro-life advocates as states advance an unprecedented number of bills that protect women and unborn children. Their optimism is boosted by the prospect that these laws will face a Supreme Court that, for the first time in a long time, seems more favorable toward states’ legitimate interest in protecting innocent life.

“We’re proud to stand with Attorney General Lynn Fitch, Solicitor General Scott Stewart, and the people of Mississippi as they champion life at the Supreme Court. It is time to follow the science and modernize our laws.”

The first inalienable right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is the right to life. Yet America, which enshrines that right in our founding document, does a worse job of protecting unborn life than most other countries. The Supreme Court now has a chance to begin ending this injustice and ensuring that America lives up to its promise.
