Steven H. Aden: Has the Pro-Life Movement Entered the Post-Roe v. Wade Era?

ADF attorney Steven H. Aden writes at the Church Report: “For decades, the pro-life movement has longed for and worked toward the day when the Supreme Court will overturn its legally and morally abominable decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) that mothers have a constitutional right to abortion. At that point, the narrative goes, the battle for life will be returned to the states, most of which have abortion-restrictive laws and courts and legislatures that are more responsive to the majority of citizens who favor protecting life in the womb. But a series of recent lawsuits against abortion restrictions, brought not in federal courts where they have traditionally been filed, but in state courts under state constitutional provisions, raise the question whether, in the minds of the abortion industry, the battle has already shifted to the states . . . ”
