Pro-life movement still faces uphill battle years after Dobbs decision

This June will mark four years since the Supreme Court handed down the landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The ruling changed the abortion landscape in the country by sending the issue back to the states. Both sides in the abortion debate predicted specific long-term outcomes. Four years on, one thing is certain: we are not a pro-life nation. At least not yet.

Believing that a Supreme Court ruling would quickly shift the culture to become majority pro-life was always a foolish assumption. Laws are necessary. And Dobbs righted a moral and legal wrong. But the uphill battle is harder than previously anticipated. The pro-life message and mission remain the same.
