Despite North Dakota Supreme Court's Direction to Reconsider, Judge Continues to Block Pro-Life Law
“Whether the North Dakota Constitution conveys a fundamental right to an abortion is an issue that is very much alive and active. This issue does not have a clear and obvious answer. Therefore, the Court finds that (the Red River Women’s Clinic) has a substantial probability of succeeding on the merits through showing that there is a ‘real and substantial question’ before the Court.”

Data Estimates 10,000 Children Saved So Far By Dobbs Decision
“In all states that saw declines in their abortion numbers — which include the 15 states in which abortion was banned or severely limited over the summer — the number of abortions fell by about 22,000. Some of those women appear to have traveled out of state, because in other states, the number of abortions rose by an aggregate of about 12,000. But nationwide, the movement of abortions from states with bans and restrictions to those with fewer restrictions on access wasn’t enough to make up the shortfall.”
Pro-life state legislation that became enforceable due to the repeal of Roe v. Wade appears to have made a difference. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute reported that 100 days after the Dobbs decision, at least 66 clinics stopped offering abortions.

Witnesses say that the woman who attacked Foti wanted to park in a spot along the street where Foti had already parked. Foti parks there to advocate for life, and he places pro-life signs around his vehicle. Even though she was able to find another spot, the woman returned and charged at Foti. She violently shoved him, and he fell on a fire hydrant next to the sidewalk; suffering a punctured lung and other injuries. Foti was hospitalized for four days, and he still requires ongoing treatment.
The Life Legal Defense Foundation has taken up this issue to help defend the rights of pro-life advocates from future attacks. “This violent assault against Ross Foti is unconscionable,” Life Legal CEO Alexandra Snyder said in a press release. “Life Legal is committed to pursuing all legal options to obtain justice for Ross and to protect the right to pro-life speech without the fear of violence on public sidewalks.”

California Ballot Item would End All Limits on Abortion and its Funding
"The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives. This section is intended to further the constitutional right to privacy guaranteed by Section 1, and the constitutional right to not be denied equal protection guaranteed by Section 7. Nothing herein narrows or limits the right to privacy or equal protection."
Michigan has a similar proposal on its ballot this year. Now that the federal right to abortion created by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade has been overturned, pro-abortion legislators are working to fill that space through state legislation or constitutional amendments. These initiatives prove that, even though Roe v. Wade has been overturned, pro-life advocates need to stay involved in elections to protect the unborn.

Indiana Supreme Court Continues Injunction Blocking Indiana Pro-Life Law
“We are deeply disappointed the Indiana Supreme Court will allow the injunction against Indiana’s new abortion law to remain in effect pending appeal. We estimate at least three thousand unborn babies, whose lives otherwise might have been saved, will now needlessly die from abortion as the law remains blocked. Thousands more will die as we await a final ruling after the January hearing. Although we are confident the law will be upheld, it will be far too late for those whose lives will be lost as this is argued in the courts.”

“On Tuesday, October 11th, it was brought to my attention that ballots drafted by the Schuyler County Board of Elections, and approved by the Illinois State Board of Elections, incorrectly listed one of my primary opponents as the Republican nominee for United States Senate. Our campaign legal team immediately took action and worked with the Schuyler County State’s Attorney. While we came to the best remedy - to sequester the hundreds of ballots that were distributed - this does not solve the most pressing problem of election integrity and transparency.”“Illinois voters need to have confidence in our elections and this unacceptable error does absolutely nothing to provide that comfort. There needs to be accountability at the county level for this mistake and with the Illinois Board of Elections for approving the ballots. Voters spoke during the June primary and now they are being disenfranchised, period. We need answers from our election officials as to how this happened and transparency to show inaccurate ballots have not been approved elsewhere in the state.”
A spokesperson for the Illinois State Board of Elections told Illinois Review that Schuyler County Clerk Mindy Garrett (D) plans to credit Salvi with the early votes that went to Hubbard, and the county plans to re-issue corrected ballots to affected voters.
