✅ The New Pro-Life Playbook

Politics

When Donald Trump ran for President in 2016, the pro-life movement helped carry him to victory. He promised to appoint Justices who would overturn the constitutional right to an abortion established in Roe v. Wade. He followed through, and they delivered, with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. But the decision was politically toxic for Republicans. After the Party performed poorly in the 2022 midterms, Trump blamed the losses on pro-life candidates. According to Gallup, six in ten Americans describe Dobbs as a “bad thing,” and the percentage of people who say they’re pro-choice is the highest it’s been in decades.
