A California doctor has proposed the President authorize a “floating abortion clinic” to be placed in the Gulf of Mexico, since many of the trigger law bans will take place in southern states. If the ship were to be located in the Gulf, in federal waters, it would be out of reach of state laws. Dr. […]
Arizona Says 'Personhood' Abortion Law Can't Lead to Charges
An attorney with the Arizona attorney general's office told a judge that a 2021 state "personhood" law that gives all legal rights to unborn children can't be used to bring criminal charges against abortion providers. The comment from Assistant Solicitor General Kate Sawyer came during a […]
Title IX Could Empower Campus Clinics To Defy State Pro-Life Laws
Because Title IX is neutral on abortion, it cannot "require or prohibit" abortion. Under Roe, a woman having an abortion would not be penalized by her school, sport, or job. By neither "requiring nor prohibiting" abortion access in schools, though, Title IX's language creates a […]
Life-Threatening Pregnancies? Experts Disagree That Abortion Is Necessary
Shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned and pro-life states moved to ban abortion, a media narrative began to emerge that abortion bans would put women in danger, preventing them from lifesaving treatment in cases of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage management.

Pro-Life Movement Has Achieved Victory, But Not Yet Justice
Children will now have protection in some states, but in the bigger picture, we are just getting started. To send abortion to the states is not full justice.

A hacking group is targeting pro-life supporters and states with anti-abortion laws in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark ruling that recognized the constitutional right to abortion. SiegedSec claimed it victimized Arkansas and Kentucky and took government […]
What's Next for the Pro-Life Movement?
The people in this movement have fought for decades to reach this moment. They just have to decide what to do now. Nathan Berning is one of many abortion opponents who wants, more than anything, to see a substantial expansion of the social safety net. I talked with a dozen others like him—people who […]
Transitioning to a More Life-Affirming Culture
The pro-life community and legislators will need to expand services to mothers and families as Texas did. Programs like SFLA's Standing with You will be even more vital for women seeking information about federal, state and local programs already in place. Still, this transition to a more […]
Dana Hall McCain: A New Chapter in the Pro-Life Movement
If we in red state America fail to treat women and children with the compassion and care we have always promised as we advocated for an end to abortion, that failure will be highlighted and leveraged by abortion proponents to influence purple states. If the pro-life community shows a lack of empathy […]
