In 1974, Nellie Gray and several others organized a march on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion in all 50 states. what is her goal? Draw a line on the horrific human rights abuse of abortion.

She did not expect the March for Life to become the world’s largest annual human rights demonstration in the years since its original march. After 50 years of hard work, passion, dedication, and millions of pro-life Americans standing up for the most vulnerable unborn child in us, Roe v. Wade has our patronage, It brings us one step closer to American life and culture. .(Related: Ronna McDaniel: 1st Anniversary of Dobbs Judgment; Republicans Can Win the Pro-Life Debate)

A lot has changed in our country since that amazing June morning exactly one year ago. Half of the states are taking steps towards enacting and enacting permanent pro-life laws that protect the unborn child while providing resources and support to expectant mothers.

Florida, North Carolina, Nebraska and 22 other states have passed laws that save lives at 12 weeks of age or even earlier while helping women, restoring families and saving countless babies. .

But while we celebrate the tremendous achievements and strengthening of the pro-life movement, there still remains a huge chasm between where we are and where we are heading: the culture of life.

Currently, half the country fails to provide meaningful protection for fetuses and women. As a result, the thousands of innocent lives created to thrive and prosper will never be given that chance.

Many state legislators and federal leaders are pushing even more extreme abortion laws than Mr. Low has authorized, pushing for late proceedings while stripping women of supportive safeguards.

In November, Michigan approved a ballot initiative to make abortion constitutional. This bill, fully funded by taxpayers, would allow unpopular (and even more terrifying) abortions in the state right up to the moment of birth.

In addition to celebrating late-term abortion, California is also committed to reducing the care available to pregnant women by attacking resource centers available to pregnant women throughout the state.

These new state constitutional amendments may not come as a surprise, but in places like California, even in more historically pro-life states, abortion fanatics are actively pushing such efforts, providing funding. Ohio, for example, has a rich history of supporting and protecting lives, but was targeted in a vote in November this year for an amendment backed by the abortion industry.

The amendment would allow late-term abortion to be fully tax-funded for any reason, but would offer no protection for many women who have had it. Abort pressure. Parental consent laws will be repealed, Buckeye will become a late-term abortion hotspot, and health and safety protections for women and girls will decline.

A year after the Roe v. Wade reversal, we’ve come a long way, but there’s still a lot of confusion about the erroneous idea that abortion rights are good for women. But transforming culture and tackling human rights abuses has never been easy, nor can it be accomplished in the short term.

It took 58 years before the Supreme Court amended Plessey v. Ferguson (1896) in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), outlawing racism. And when the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that interracial marriage was a constitutional right in 1967, only 4 percent of Americans agreed with the outcome.

Even if it takes our country another 50 years or more to respect and protect every human life and build a culture of life, we are here for it. We will march in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals across the country for as long as we need to.

We will continue to be a voice for the voiceless, a hand for the desperate, and a strong foundation for the pro-life movement. Thankfully we can put the Roe v. Wade case on the back burner, but we’re really just getting started.
