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 looks forward to the day when this grave error will be corrected. We fight tirelessly to pass laws that limit abortion, eliminate taxpayer funding for abortion and abortion providers, and support pregnant women and maternal health.
