Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its final judgment in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization which begins the 30 day time period before the Texas Human Life Protection Act of 2021 goes into effect. The Human Life Protection Act (HB 1280) is also known as Texas' pro-life "Trigger Law." Texas is one of 13 states in the nation that has a Trigger Law outlawing abortion.

President Biden has been facing mounting pressure to take a strong pro-abortion stance since the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision on June 24. Dobbs ended a nationwide constitutional right to abortion and returned the question of abortion regulation to the individual states. During a nationally-televised speech last Friday, July 8, President Biden signed an Executive Order protecting abortion access.

We are still praising God for the dramatic victory on June 24 when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision. But, the complex legal battle over abortion rights wages on in Texas.

We praise God for His faithfulness in delivering the news for which we have all been waiting and praying! Moments ago, the Supreme Court of the United States released its monumental decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Dobbs is a broad sweeping reversal of Roe v. Wade, the High Court's landmark 1973 decision creating a constitutional right to abortion, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, their landmark 1992 decision affirming a constitutional right to abortion.

We continue to wait, hope and pray that any day now — perhaps even today — the Supreme Court of the United States will reverse Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision. Let us now contemplate what has transpired over the past 50 years since Roe was decided and since the draft Dobbs majority opinion was leaked early last month. Let us also think about how the pro-life community should respond to a possible Post-Roe reality. 

Every day we brace ourselves for the news of the U.S Supreme Court's monumental decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that could be announced any moment. As we hope and pray for a broad sweeping reversal of Roe v. Wade, the High Court's landmark 1973 decision creating a constitutional right to abortion, we must also pray unceasingly for protection. 

Earlier this week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D, NY) brought the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021 (WHPA) for a vote AGAIN in the U.S. Senate knowing it would very likely fail. Praise God it indeed did FAILin a 49-51 vote, falling short of the 60 votes needed to advance the bill to the Senate floor. WHPA is arguably the most radically extreme abortion law ever passed by a legislative body anywhere in the world. WHPA goes well beyond Roe v. Wade and would effectively codify into U.S. federal law an unlimited nationwide right to abortion up until birth and eradicate all State government restrictions on abortion.

By now you may have heard about the Politico story that exploded on the scene last evening with the circulation of a leaked draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization indicating that the Supreme Court of the United States intends to reverse Roe v. Wade. Although this breaking story is developing minute by minute, the undeniable truth is that the broad sweeping reversal of Roe appears to be an imminent reality, constituting the greatest pro-life victory in the last 50 years.

Last September, we reported the dark day we never dreamed we would witness in the United States of America when the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021 (WHPA). The vote was on party lines with House Democrats voting almost unanimously to pass it. WHPA is arguably the most radically extreme abortion law ever passed by a legislative body anywhere in the world. WHPA would effectively codify into U.S. federal law an unlimited nationwide right to abortion up until birth and eradicate all State government restrictions on abortion. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D, NY) recently announced that he is planning to bring WHPA for a vote in the Senate. The vote will be TODAY, February 28.
