The Dobbs abortion decision is having a global impact. The call to defend life was the reason I went to law school. Having seen the evil face of abortion and the destruction of helpless children, I celebrate that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey are gone. And I give thanks to God.

But now, following the Dobbs decision, the battle for life has intensified in Congress, the state legislatures and the state courts.

If any two of four pro-abortion senators change their vote on the filibuster, the 60-vote rule will be abolished, and the abortion bill in the Senate will force abortion on ALL the states. We cannot rest. We could easily lose this great victory for life.

In addition, governors are facing incredible pressure and rapid-fire litigation regarding abortion. Fax members of the Senate and our state leaders to urge them to protect life and end abortion now. —Mat

An abortion bill has already passed the U.S. House and just needs to get through the Senate. Earlier this year, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) said they oppose abolishing the 60-vote filibuster rule. So did Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK). But all FOUR want to codify Roe v. Wade as a federal law.

If only two of these four senators cave and support the “nuclear option” to erase the filibuster, they can pass the abortion bill. But it will not stop there.

Violence erupted around the Arizona capitol building with legislators trapped inside. The violent protesters had to be dispersed with tear gas. Sen. Sinema is from Arizona. The pressure on members of Congress is intense.

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) exclaimed, “The hell with the Supreme Court.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also bemoaned the ruling, “Today is one of the darkest days our country has ever seen.” Standing in front of the Court in March 2020, Schumer threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, saying: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!”

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has called on Congress to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade as federal law.” 

I want to emphasize again, IF ONLY TWO MORE SENATORS VOTE TO ABOLISH THE 60-VOTE FILIBUSTER RULE, THE DOBBS DECISION WILL BE ERASED AND ABORTION WILL AGAIN BE FORCED ON THE STATES.

Liberty Counsel Action was founded in 1979 and has defended life ever since. After Dobbs, the battle intensified. We will continue fighting in Congress and in the states.

In addition to our ongoing legislative work in Congress, we will defend life in states. That is where the battle will primarily focus now that Roe and Casey have been overturned.

You can support Liberty Counsel Action with a monthly recurring gift as we defend the lives of preborn babies in Congress and the states.

If the filibuster is abolished, and abortion and other bad bills become law, the elections this fall will not undo these terrible bills. Even if there is a change in leadership in the U.S. House and Senate this fall, and Congress votes to repeal these bills, Joe Biden will veto their vote. These terrible bills will remain law for more than two years—at a minimum!

Sen. Murkowski told CBS the Dobbs abortion decision “creates a growing need for the Senate to pass the ‘Women's Health Protection Act,’” which is the abortion bill. In addition, Sen. Collins stated she supported Kavanaugh's nomination to the Court because she “believed he would uphold Roe v. Wade.”

The Dobbs decision said that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” Indeed, abortion has no basis in the Constitution. Urge our federal and state leaders to protect life and end abortion!

We have worked decades for this magnificent VICTORY FOR LIFE. This decision will reverberate around the world. Law students will be taught about Dobbs and not about the constitutionally baseless Roe and Casey opinions. And best of all, many children will now live who may have died a cruel death!

Along with our pro-life work, including defending Sandra Merritt who revealed the Planned Parenthood doctors’ harvesting of baby body parts, we continue working in our class action case on behalf of service members in all U.S. military branches regarding the illegal COVID shot mandates. This week and in July, there will be a flurry of legal activity. I will update you soon.

Please be in prayer for our country and for us. And please prayerfully consider supporting Liberty Counsel Action. A generous Challenge Grant will effectively DOUBLE the impact of your donation.
