In 1994, Mother Teresa spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. She told her audience that America would only “be true to what the founders of this country stood for” when we protected “the weakest of the weak—the unborn child.”

Twenty-eight years later—and one year ago tomorrow—the U.S. Supreme Court took an important step toward fulfilling Mother Teresa’s wish with its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization…. Since Dobbs, new laws in pro-life states have saved more than 60,000 babies across the country….

Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry, of course, see 60,000 lives saved as 60,000 lost opportunities for profit. Their allies in the activist left are doing their best to portray post-Roe America as a patriarchal hell-scape….

The truth is, those of us seeking to protect life are pushing to provide more generous assistance to both women and their children…. My Providing for Life Act would guarantee paid family leave with existing Social Security funds, expand the child tax credit for working families,...and increase our support for faith-based nonprofits and crisis pregnancy centers.

Even so, it would be a deadly mistake to leave abortion out of the conversation. Left-wing activists are redoubling their efforts to take life…. These efforts are having an impact. Abortions have decreased nationally, but in some states, they have increased by close to 2,000 per month….

For my part, I will continue seeking to roll back the Biden Administration’s agenda and protect life at the federal level. Meanwhile, state legislators must do their best to shut down the abortion industry. Charities must keep saving lives…. And pro-life activists must sustain their efforts to transform our culture from the bottom up….
