Challenges Facing US Pro-Life Movement

by Vision Editorial Team | Jun 25, 2025

As the United States marks the third anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision — the historic US Supreme Court ruling that overturned the 49-year-long Roe v. Wade precedent on American abortion law — the nation’s pro-life movement is confronting some grim realities.

Abortions are on the rise in the US and the battle to defend the unborn is far from over.

According to just released figures by the Society of Family Planning’s pro-abortion #WeCount project, abortions surged to 1.14 million last year.

That’s up from 1.05 million in 2023.

REASONS FOR THE SURGE IN US ABORTIONS

Worthy News reports the increase has been mainly driven by the expansion of telehealth prescriptions for mail-order abortion pills and shield laws enacted by pro-abortion states to protect clients and providers from laws in pro-life states.

“While we celebrate Dobbs and the end of Roe’s judicial tyranny, we grieve that abortion is still destroying innocent lives at an alarming rate,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America.

“Abortion tourism, mail-order pills, and the abortion lobby’s relentless assault on state sovereignty have undermined hard-won pro-life laws,” she reflected.

ABORTION PROVIDERS EXPLOIT LEGAL LOOPHOLES

Since Dobbs, 23 states have enacted strong protections for unborn children, banning most abortions in the first trimester and ensuring exceptions only to save the mother’s life.

Yet the nation’s biggest abortion provider Planned Parenthood and others have exploited telehealth loopholes and shield laws in states like New York and Massachusetts to ship abortion pills across state lines.

But pro-life groups are not standing still.

With Republicans now controlling the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, pro-life leaders are pushing forward what could be the most significant legislative victory since Dobbs.

THE BILL THAT COULD COST ABORTION PROVIDERS BILLIONS

It’s a budget reconciliation bill that strips Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funding for the next decade, draining an estimated A$1.2 billion annually from America’s largest abortion chain.

“This is what we’ve prayed for, worked for, and dreamed of — the chance to defund Planned Parenthood and redirect resources to real health care,” said David Bereit, executive director of the Life Leadership Conference.

“With God’s help, we will seize this moment to protect women and children from the lies and destruction of the abortion industry.”

It’s hoped the proposed legislation which is part of the Big Beautiful Bill that has already been passed by the House, will also be approved by the Senate and reach President Trump’s desk by July 4.

THE CHALLENGE TO REVERSE CULTURAL TRENDS

Pro-life groups have launched a national effort, including webcasts and prayer vigils, to rally support ahead of the Senate vote.

Worthy News writes that the fight ahead will not be easy.

Pro-life leaders acknowledge the challenge of reversing cultural trends that continue to devalue unborn life and the difficulty of reining in the unregulated distribution of abortion pills.

Katie Xavios of the American Life League called the current abortion pill landscape the “wild west,” and warned that lasting change will only come when Americans once again embrace the dignity of every human life.

“As we reflect on Dobbs, we must remember: changing the law was the first step.”

“Now we must change hearts and minds. The ultimate victory will come when abortion is not just illegal, but unthinkable,” Ms. Xavios concluded.
