Back in May, at the “Preparing for a Post-Roe World” event at the Wilberforce Weekend, Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins issued a powerful and stirring challenge to Christians and the pro-life community. Here’s what she had to say:

Pastor Matt Chandler of Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, delivered a sermon on Sunday celebrating the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade while also urging the Church to step up and help women in need.

Forcing births without support is not pro-life, forcing our beliefs on others and causing them suffering is not pro-life, and putting mothers' lives at stake is not pro-life. I may not agree with people's decisions to get an abortion. But overturning Roe v. Wade was not the way to accomplish what we want: a world where all lives are upheld as precious in the sight of God.

Twenty-one states are on the verge of banning or severely restricting abortion in the wake of the Dobbs decision. Thirteen states had "trigger" laws – that would ban abortion in most cases if Roe v. Wade was overturned – 10 of which have gone into effect already.

Judges in Louisiana and Utah have issued temporary restraining orders against the trigger laws in their states that would have restricted abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade in the Mississippi v. Dobbs case last Friday.
