January 22, 2023 marks 50 years since the tragic Roe vs. Wade decision (and its companion case, Doe vs. Bolton), which together ushered in abortion on demand in our country. On June 24, 2022 the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case.
Our work is not finished. A victory in the Dobbs case is a “milestone victory” rather than a “final victory.” The Dobbs victory opens a new chapter where our lawmakers will be able to enact laws that will protect unborn babies and their families significantly more than the Courts have allowed so far. That provides the opportunity for our movement to work with our lawmakers pass such laws, which will actually go into effect, and work with public officials to enforce them. And we must never forget the over 63 1/2 million children that have been killed by abortion since Roe v. Wade, with untold devastation brought upon their families and the nation. This page will equip you to better understand the Dobbs decision. It will also explain the Roe decision, how it came about, how weak its legal, medical and historical rationale was, and how the Court has weakened it over the years, eventually leading to its reversal in the Dobbs case.
