President Biden declared back in June that “Roe is on the ballot.” Indeed, on Election Day, numerous Republican governors who proudly signed strong pieces of pro-life legislation won reelection by large margins — despite facing well-financed opponents. These include Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Ohio governor Mike DeWine, Georgia governor Brian Kemp, and Texas governor Greg Abbott. But are these recently enacted pro-life laws actually saving lives? New research says yes! My new Charlotte Lozier Institute analysis shows a historic increase in the number of children born in Texas. This demonstrates that the Texas Heartbeat Act has already saved thousands of lives.
Indeed, before the Dobbs decision, the September 1, 2021, enforcement of the Texas Heartbeat Act was a major victory for pro-lifers, marking the first time since Roe v. Wade that a law protecting pre-born children well before viability was allowed to take effect.
