During the nearly 50 years that Roe v. Wade was in place, over 60 million babies were denied the right to life. This tragedy is a devastating mark upon our culture, and even more appalling is that there is still an entire industry profiting from each child killed in the womb.
Thankfully, in the Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act and overturned the Roe decision that wrongly found a constitutional right to abortion. Alliance Defending Freedom was proud to assist the state of Mississippi in helping draft and defend its pro-life law all the way to the Supreme Court. With this ruling, states are once again empowered to protect women and their babies. ADF continues to work to put an end to the abortion industry and restore a culture that affirms the human right to life.
Where We Are Right Now
The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, but the battle to protect life isn’t over.
The Supreme Court has given lawmaking decisions about abortion back to the states. While many states have affirmed the right to life for unborn children, many have not.
The pro-life movement continues to champion protections for mothers and their unborn children.
Where We Need to Be

Motherhood is cherished and women are protected from the gruesome reality of abortion.
What We’re Doing to Get There
Alliance Defending Freedom is advocating for the lives of unborn babies and their mothers in court and in the culture. Here are some current cases that highlight these efforts:
