Three years ago, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that reshaped the national landscape for human life in the womb. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling overturned Roe v. Wade, returning to the states the power to protect preborn children. For millions of pro-life advocates across the country, it was a moment of prayer answered — and a signal that the vision to make abortion unthinkable and unnecessary was finally within reach.
Since the Dobbs decision, the momentum to defend life has only grown. Across America, 41 states have enacted varying levels of protection for children in the womb. Twelve of those states have laws in place that protect human life from the earliest stages, from conception or from the point when a heartbeat is detected. Twenty-nine additional states limit abortion based on gestational age, with seven enforcing protections at or before 18 weeks, and 22 placing limits after that point.
