With a potential landmark case being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, and a wave of pro-life lawmakers entering Congress, the end of abortion in America may be on the horizon.
“What do we see coming?,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. “The fruit of all our prayers . . . [of] the whole pro-life movement – everyone who loves the Lord and loves His children.”
Dannenfelser joined the Truth & Liberty livecast to discuss a number of issues, including gains made in the fight for the unborn.
The Susan B. Anthony List’s “mission is to end abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.”
Court to Review Landmark Case
The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court recently announced it will review a case which could be a direct challenge to the Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion in the United States. The justices will consider Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which focuses on a Mississippi law limiting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
“We think it’s very likely, at a minimum, we will see a situation that is much better,” said Dannenfelser.
According to the Susan B. Anthony List, the Court “will consider the question of whether all ‘pre-viability’ bans on abortion are unconstitutional.” Scientific advancements in the nearly 50 years since Roe have paved the way for an opportunity to show that unborn children have sensation early in pregnancy.
“It really is an enormous cultural and Christian moment coming that I think will have ripple effects in so many ways,” said Dannenfelser.
The Susan B. Anthony List recently launched a widespread advertising campaign confirming the humanity of unborn children:
Gaining Clout in Congress
The most recent election cycle was a banner year for the right to life and the Susan B. Anthony List, which evaluates and endorses candidates on the life issue.
“We had a record number of pro-life women elected to the U.S. House of Representatives – thirty – which was an enormous increase,” said Dannenfelser.
In a year when mainstream media observers predicted a Democrat wave in Congress, this surge of pro-life congresswomen is a huge victory for the right-to-life movement. The number of pro-life women in the House more than doubled. They will be a bulwark against House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats’ pro-abortion agenda, and provide a foundation for future pro-life gains in Washington.
“[The increase in pro-life women representatives] was a sizable faction of the overall Republican ascending majority that will very likely tip the balance of the U.S. House to be conservative and Republican again,” said Dannenfelser.
