Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) issued the following statement from Chair of the Center for the American Dream Alveda King:
“For 49 years, ‘we the people’ have had to endure a flawed and unconstitutional ruling from the Supreme Court that allowed unelected judges to create a national right to abortion, which ultimately led to extreme actions, like late-term abortions, against the unborn. Today, the Supreme Court has rightfully overturned that decision, sending the power to regulate abortion back to the elected officials at the state level. I have longed and prayed for this day. And I will continue to fight for human dignity for everyone — from the womb to the tomb.”
Chair for the Center of American Values Pastor Paula White:
“I join the America First Policy Institute today in celebrating the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The pro-life movement is ultimately motivated by love, not only love for the unborn child but love for the mother and the father, as well. Millions of advocates for the health and lives of women and their unborn babies have prayed for this moment and celebrate this national victory for the sanctity of life after 50 years of judiciary-sanctioned abortion. With this historic decision, all Americans will once again be able to make their voices heard and choose to protect life through their elected representatives.
Faith community leaders have always been front and center in offering counseling, support services, and prayer for vulnerable mothers and children across the country. The overturning of Roe will increase that support and the roles of the 2,700 Pregnancy Resource Centers in America. Pro-life supporters will continue to open their hearts, homes, and finances to help those facing hardships and affirm the value inherent to every life.
Like millions of Americans, I subscribe to the Scriptures, which clearly state that God created each and every one of us in His image, giving each of us dignity as human beings. Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.’ Human life —born and unborn — is precious at every stage and is a gift from God. I am proud to fight for the value and worth of every single life. America First Policy Institute’s Center for American Values will continue to press ahead and gain ground as this moral and spiritual battle unfolds in the weeks and months to come.”
Heritage Action, a national conservative grassroots organization with two million activists nationwide, today released a statement from Executive Director Jessica Anderson following the official release of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Mississippi.
Today’s official Dobbs decision finally allows the elected representatives of the American people to end decades of injustice and save millions of babies with beating hearts from the ravages of the abortion industry. Every life is precious, and this is a major milestone in our decades-long fight to protect life.
This victory for life is but the first step in our fight for the unborn. State and federal lawmakers will once again be free to advance protections for life. American public opinion has advanced with science – mothers have been able to see ultrasounds and hear their baby’s heartbeat at six weeks. Recognizing that, over the past 50 years Americans have steadily become more passionate about protecting life, and the twenty-six states with protections for life already in place reflect the desire of the American people to defend unborn babies. Now, other states must follow the lead of governors in South Dakota, South Carolina, Florida and Nebraska, in calling for special sessions and new legislative initiatives to protect life, and our federal representatives should join the states in enacting new protections for life.
Despite the pro-abortion Left’s best attempts to undermine America’s system of justice, the Supreme Court refused to give into their bullying, harassment, intimidation, and even assassination attempts. As the Court is now met with threats from Democrats in Washington to pack the Court and nuke the filibuster, or attacks from Speaker Pelosi calling the Court ‘dangerous,’ justices continue to carry out their duties with the same standard of justice and impartiality.”
