In response, 19 states have prohibited chemical abortion through telehealth, and some have introduced legislation that would ban the practice entirely.

U.S. Bishops Blasts 'Abortion on Demand' Vote
Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities and Cardinal Timothy M.

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. No state, whether pro-life or pro-abortion, should get to decide whether children live or die. The right to life—the most basic human right—is […]
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 […]

Careful readers of the obituaries may have noticed the death this past Monday of Jim Seals, co-leader of the popular 1970s soft-rock band Seals and Crofts. He was 79 and lived in Nashville. Once upon a time, Seals and Crofts became a household name in music with a string of popular hits – […]
More Than Half of Americans Say They Are 'Pro Choice'
A Gallup poll conducted mostly after the draft of a Supreme Court decision addressing abortion rights was leaked finds a marked shift in public attitudes over the past year. After a decade in which Americans' identification as "pro-choice" varied narrowly between 45 percent and 50 percent, […]
This Really Is a Different Pro-Life Movement
In the United States, the anti-abortion movement did not remain predominantly Catholic. Southern evangelical Protestants, who had once hesitated to embrace the anti-abortion movement in the belief that it was a sectarian Catholic campaign, began enlisting in the cause in the late '70s and '80s. […]
