It’s Time To Put Pro-Abortion Lawmakers On The Defensive: Whose Lives Are Worth Protecting?

It’s been three months since the Supreme Court corrected the grievous mistake of Roe v. Wade and stated that there is no right to abort a child enshrined in the Constitution. And yet we still don’t know where some current or prospective members of Congress stand on this vital issue.

For the first time in 50 years, the Dobbs decision gives the defenders of life a chance to roll back the extreme policy positions of pro-abortion advocates.

Thanks to the unprecedented leak of the draft opinion, both sides learned in May that Roe v. Wade was headed to the ash heap of history. The left instantly mobilized to picket the homes of justices and rallied around a bill to codify nationwide abortion on demand until birth.

Since then, dozens of churches and pregnancy resource centers have been vandalized and torched across the country. An armed pro-abortion radical on a mission to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh was even apprehended just outside his home. And last week an 84-year-old pro-life volunteer was shot in the back while going door-to-door to talk about an abortion-related ballot measure.

The pro-abortion left, seemingly impervious to irony, claims there will be “blood on the hands” of those who seek even the most modest of protections for unborn life. With lots of help from corporate media, academia, and major medical associations — and with a huge spending advantage on this issue ($34 million to $1.1 million by some counts) — this preposterous message has gotten traction.
