John,

A new study recently revealed that over 30,000 babies have been born instead of aborted since the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year!

Absolutely amazing. 

These 32,000 boys and girls were protected from being killed by abortion, because of the fall of Roe and the life-saving laws that went into effect.

Legislative work does make a difference. Every one of these 32,000 children is a miracle.

We saw many pro-life wins across states in 2023. The National Right to Life reported a few examples:

• Iowa’s pro-life governor called a special session after Roe was overturned so that the legislature could pass a bill protecting preborn children with a detectable heartbeat (around 6 weeks gestation). 
• Florida and South Carolina enacted similar heartbeat protections.
• North Dakota passed a full abortion ban, with some exceptions, and also greenlit Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video as state-approved content for schools.
• Nebraska and North Carolina protected preborn children after 12 weeks gestation. 
• Montana, among other life-affirming laws enacted this year, protected preborn children from horrid dismemberment abortions, and the lives of children born alive during an attempted abortion.
• Arkansas expanded its law to allow fire stations to provide newborn safe haven “baby boxes.” These boxes allow a mother to anonymously surrender her newborn child to a continuously monitored location (like a hospital or police station). 
• West Virginia’s first box was installed in November; 
• Kansas expanded its law to allow the boxes to be located at police and fire stations and other locations. Baby boxes are a visible example of how our society cares for mothers in crisis and their newborns. 

Small wins like these lead to big results which can lead to total cultural transformation. This is why we do this work to spread the truth that changes people from pro-abortion to pro-life.

Over 60 million children have been murdered since Roe was decided in 1973. Now that Roe is gone, the killing has slowed slightly, but it continues.

We must ban all abortion and heal our society’s deep moral sickness. We can do this and we will. But it requires daily labor, prayer, and relentless vision.

Join me in celebrating these 32,000 lives saved, and let’s allow their lives to encourage us onward in the mission to end abortion in our country and beyond.

For Life,
