Pro-Lifers Continue to Anticipate a Reversal of Roe v. Wade

The United States Supreme Court did not issue a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade this week, after continuing anticipation. Pro-lifers have been at the Supreme Court on an ongoing basis to pray and hope for a good outcome in the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. In recent weeks, a leaked document from the Court suggests that the Court is likely ready to overturn the 1973 decision that legalized abortion throughout the nation. Texas Values is calling on all Texans to pray for the overturning of Roe and a swift decision in the Dobbs case.
