Following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, there has been a substantial decrease in the number of abortions in America.
From Life News. WeCount, a national research project led by the Society of Family Planning, has been on the cutting edge of charting the impact on the number of abortions since Dobbs uprooted Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. According to Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, there numbers have been “collected by contacting every abortion clinic in the country multiple times over a period of twelve months.” …

As you would expect there are huge regional differences. “Underneath these topline trends, meanwhile, is a huge amount of variability by state. Some parts of the country, like the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest, have seen relatively small changes. But a handful of states bordering the large swath of the South where an abortion is almost impossible to obtain are absorbing large numbers of new patients.”
But when you dig in, the differences are even more stark. Thomson-DeVeaux tells us:
“There were an estimated 93,575 fewer legal abortions in states that banned or severely restricted abortion for at least one week in the nine-month period after Dobbs.2 The number of legal abortions in states where abortion remained mostly available did rise by 69,285 in the same period, signaling that many people did travel and successfully obtain an abortion within the U.S. health care system.”
93,575 minus 69,285 =24,290 fewer abortions. …
If the Florida Supreme Court upholds HB 5, or the Reducing Fetal and Infant Mortality bill, it will protect most children from abortion after 15 weeks. It would also give them the opportunity to consider The Heartbeat Act.
That law allows abortion throughout pregnancy to protect the life of the mother or in cases of reported rape, incest, medical emergency or when the child has a fatal condition, but it will protect unborn children from elective abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy—a time at which the unborn child has a beating heart. …

You, Father God, are our judge, and your word says, “maintain justice, and do what is right.” I pray as the Kansas Supreme Court justices deliberate on the “right to abortion” as a constitutional right in Kansas, Father give them common sense that they would, without a doubt understand this is an unjust law, crimes against you and human worth. Invade their conscience, change their hearts, their minds, and may they see how much life is worth, starting with the unborn. Shine your light into their darkness that is blinding the truth, and give them a supernatural understanding of children in the womb. I pray, father God, that the Kansas Supreme Court, would get out of the business of abortion. Amen
