Pro-life supporters and pro-life state and national leaders say state amendments recently passed in Alabama and West Virginia may be a way for states to deny abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned in the future. In November 2018, Alabama and West Virginia passed state constitutional amendments that deny the right to an abortion.
The Alabama Supreme Court approved the capital punishment of a man who killed his pregnant wife in 2009, stating that under Alabama’s law, “the value of the life of an unborn child is no less than the value of the lives of other persons.”
Fearful of a future where Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion rights activists have announced a three-prong plan to guarantee access to abortion in what one supporter labeled an “abortion underground railroad.”
Abortion may be legal nationwide, but voters in three states – Alabama, West Virginia and Oregon -- will decide in November whether to curtail the right to end an unborn baby’s life.
America has been focused on the aftermath of Hurricane Florence and Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Meanwhile, you may have missed this in the news: Chelsea Clinton claims it would be “unchristian” to end abortion in America.
Chelsea Clinton continued her public opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh last week, this time saying that rolling back abortion rights would be “unconscionable” and “unchristian.”
The U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 3-0 ruling Wednesday agreeing that an Alabama law that banned a common abortion procedure was unconstitutional.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins says Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh called Roe v. Wade “settled law” in a private meeting with her, but pro-choice activists and Democratic leaders greeted the news with skepticism.
Chelsea Clinton created a controversy last week by arguing that abortion has been good for women’s economic progress.
Much has happened recently for which pro-lifers should be both grateful and encouraged, but there’s so much work left to do.
