Thomas Glessner in the Washington Examiner: “The Sound of Heartbeats will Lead to the End of Abortion”

“Ongoing support and friendship, material assistance, referrals for medical and legal help, housing, referrals for adoption, and other such services provide a firm foundation of support for these women during this time of uncertainty and save the taxpayers money. A critical study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the work of these life-affirming agencies saved taxpayers $161 million in 2017. Over 1,500 of these agencies operate as medical clinics providing key medical services. Chief […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “What Would a Post-Roe America Look Like?”

“Millions of Americans have labored for years to see the end to abortion. They have founded thousands of agencies – pregnancy centers, maternity homes, adoption agencies, counseling agencies, and more – to provide mothers considering abortion life-affirming options to empower them to choose life. Such labors have made a huge difference in reducing abortion, from an annual high of 1.6 million in 1991 to currently under 900,000. Yet, abortion continues to exist because Roe continues to exist.

Thomas Glessner and Angie Thomas in The Washington Examiner: “Supreme Court May Change the Future of Abortion”

“The law in question is Louisiana’s Unsafe Abortion Protection Act, which requires abortion providers to hold admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their practice. The law closed a loophole that allowed abortionists to get around this requirement, even though it applied to all other doctors. The regulation passed with bipartisan support in 2014. As is the case with many regulations meant to protect the safety of women during an abortion, the abortion […]

Thomas Glessner in Washington Examiner: “Why the Supreme Court Should Deliver a Death Blow to Roe v. Wade”

“This week, the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear arguments on the constitutionality of Mississippi’s 2018 Gestational Age Act. This law bans abortion after 15 weeks into a pregnancy. A central question in the case will be ‘viability’: whether a fetus can survive outside the womb at 15 weeks. This case provides an opportunity for the Supreme Court to deliver a much-deserved death blow to Roe v. Wade.” Read the full article here.
