After a long-awaited challenge to Roe v. Wade made it to the US Supreme Court on, pro-life evangelicals who had rallied for the cause for decades were encouraged that the conservative-leaning court appeared willing to uphold a contentious Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. The justices’ decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, due in late June, could overturn the country’s landmark abortion rights cases, making way for more restrictive state laws protecting the rights of fetuses in the womb.

The Democratic governor of Wisconsin struck down a suite of pro-life bills passed by the GOP-controlled state legislature, promising to do the same for any anti-abortion bills in the future. Gov. Tony Evers dismissed a slew of bills aimed at curbing abortion within the state, citing his commitment to upholding women's reproductive rights. "Republicans around the country are attempting to create laws restriction a woman's right to choose and cutting access to women's healthcare. I just vetoed those bills here in Wisconsin," Evers said in a video sent out over social media. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again today: as long as I'm governor, I will veto any legislation...

A young pregnant woman in Saskatchewan decided not to abort her baby after seeing a pro-life advocate witnessing to life outside of a provincial hospital where abortions are committed. Barney Sullivan, 71, told Campaign Life Coalition that he was standing outside of Saskatoon City Hospital, where abortions are regularly committed, with a large pro-life sign which read: "Unborn babies matter." "I was just standing there by myself. And this lady wanted to talk to me. And usually, it's pretty negative," said Sullivan, who, for the past two years, has stood outside the hospital entrance with his pro-life signs every day for over an hour, quietly praying. "And she said,...

A recent study showed that the Texas law has reduced abortion in the state by 50% since it first went into effect in September. And an analysis of other pro-life laws, including those related to abortion funding and informed consent, reveals that these measures have had a demonstrable impact in reducing the number of abortions. The Texas law, which has the unique enforcement mechanism of lawsuits from private citizens, meant that "2,164 abortions were provided in September 2021" compared to "4,313 in September 2020, a 49.8% decrease," according to a report from the Texas Policy Evaluation Project at the University of Texas at Austin.

US President Joe Biden's administration ruled that abortion pills would be available by mail permanently, not just during the Covid pandemic. An earlier in-person requirement had been criticised not only by activist groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) but also by health groups such as the American Medical Association (AMA). The move comes at a time when Republican-led states are passing laws that restrict women's abortion rights, and as a decision is awaited by the country's Supreme Court that could potentially reverse abortion as a constitutional right.

Joe Biden's Food & Drug Administration (FDA) severely weakened longstanding federal safety regulations on chemical abortion drugs. In addition, the Senate last week held a rushed hearing to consider Robert M. Califf, former Food and Drug Administration commissioner under Barack Obama, for the same position under Joe Biden. During his previous tenure, Califf showed reckless disregard for women's health and safety when he removed these safeguards and opened the door for future administrations to do the same — and make those changes permanent. This administration and their pro-abortion allies are pushing the next grim frontier of abortion before our eyes: do-it-yourself abortions by mail,...
