The clock is ticking for pro-life leaders and politicians to convince the public that we are as pro-life as we are anti-abortion.

One year ago, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson that states, and possibly even the federal government, can regulate abortion. We wrote a few days afterward that pro-life leaders need to show, not just say, that we care for women and their children. We suggested that we lead the way by advocating a tapestry of policies that ensure that women faced with the difficult decision to carry a child to term or face economic hardship are fully supported.
