Three Years After Dobbs, Abortion Activists are Upset Babies are Saved

You have to keep in mind that even the slightest, most miniscule change in the direction of life sends the anti-life lobby into an hysterical tailspin. Suggest, for example, rolling back the outer limit on abortion just a couple of weeks, and the chicken littles scream the sky is falling.

But…sometimes, while overstated, when the likes of the Guttmacher Institute, a prominent, oft-quoted pro-abortion think tank, writes a piece headlined, “Three Years Post-Roe: The Escalating Campaign to Make Abortion Inaccessible Nationwide,” it is very much worth reading.

To reach a larger audience, Kelly Baden writes her piece for Ms. Magazine. Her lead is all gloom and doom and indicative of the entire piece:

It has been three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, unleashing legal chaos and confusion for patients and providers across the United States. But even though abortion is banned in many U.S. states, the antiabortion movement is only intensifying its campaign to restrict abortion access nationwide. Overturning Roe is just the beginning; since then, the movement has pursued a range of strategies to make abortion completely inaccessible no matter where you live.

“Banned in many states” is a gross exaggeration. But while overblown, it is absolutely true that pro-life states have made serious progress in protecting preborn children in a number of states.

Are we “intensifying its [our] campaign to restrict abortion access nationwide”? We are doing our level best to provide win-win solutions everywhere, in all 50 states. Do you think it’s an accident that the anti-life types target pregnancy help centers relentlessly? Offering women a “choice” for life is, to the mind steeped in abortion ideology, literally incomprehensible.

Was overturning Roe “just the beginning?” You betcha.

When the abortion “reform” movement of the 1960s won a handful of early victories, did they say to themselves, “Well, that’s enough, we don’t want to press our luck”? Of course not. They pushed forward on all fronts—legislative, politically, and culturally—to sustain their momentum.

So, too, will we.

Kelly Baden ends her article on a more optimistic note:

Together, we can plant the seeds for our long-term vision—going beyond what Roe promised and finally guarantee abortion access for all. 

We’ve been planting seeds for more than 50 years to accomplish our long-term vision: A nation where no mother and no father see their unborn child as an enemy but rather a blessing to protect and to cherish for a lifetime.
