As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Wednesday, Family Policy Alliance is launching a new website to help state-level activists protect life and aid families in a post-RoeAmerica.
On Wednesday, FPA will introduce a campaign called “After Roe,” which will feature a website designed to help educate Americans on their state’s abortion laws and connect them with opportunities to help defend the right to life, in preparation for a reversal of Roe — whether that happens in Dobbs or at some other point in the future.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, a case evaluating the constitutionality of Mississippi’s ban on nearly all abortions after 15 weeks, gives the court’s conservative majority an opportunity to overturn unconstitutional pro-abortion precedents in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Even now, before a Supreme Court decision in Dobbs, the pro-life movement has won state-level victories around the country, leading NARAL Pro-Choice America to declare 2021 “the worst year for abortion rights since Roe was decided.” A prominent example is the Texas law that went into effect in September, which empowered citizens to sue abortion providers for killing babies with detectable heartbeats, effectively banning abortion after unborn babies are six weeks old.
