Two years after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, the pro-life movement has made major advances now that the people and legislatures are finally free to protect life. Yet, like every human rights movement in our nation’s history, this monumental victory did not signal the end of our mission—it just gave it a new beginning.
The path ahead has challenges and threats and we cannot afford to rest until babies and mothers all across America are safe.
First, the great news: 24 states have laws protecting unborn children at 15 weeks or earlier—20 of them when a baby’s heartbeat can be detected. As of May, that includes Florida’s Heartbeat Protection Act. Together these laws protect 200,902 unborn children annually, an increase from last year.
Importantly, states are pairing strong protections with additional support for moms and families. This year, 14 states passed new laws to strengthen the pro-life safety net, including funding for pregnancy centers, child-care assistance and extending Medicaid for postpartum moms.
These laws make all the difference in the world to women like Neesha, who credits heartbeat protections in her home state of Georgia with saving her son.

Her search led to an adoption agency that stood with her every step of the way, including when she lost her job. Today, she has an open adoption and a loving relationship with her little boy and the family she got to hand-pick to raise him…
Roe v. Wade is gone. But Big Abortion has struck back with an epidemic of abortion drug use —silent, seductive, and more dangerous than any other form of abortion.
As a pro-life American, you need to learn the surprising facts that will save lives and defeat this chemical devastation.
