Abortion Laws

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, which declared abortion to be a constitutional “right,” was without foundation in the text of the Constitution and therefore was wrongly decided. Family Research Council is grateful that this grave error was corrected in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Now, the American people have the opportunity to protect unborn lives through their elected representatives. Family Research Council fights tirelessly to pass laws that protect unborn lives, eliminate taxpayer funding for abortion and abortion providers, and support pregnant women and maternal health.
