WASHINGTON — On the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Senate leaders highlighted a broad range of pro-life legislation through a series of unanimous consent requests focused on protecting unborn children, supporting mothers and families, and defending conscience rights.

The measures address protections for unborn children, support for pregnant women and families, conscience rights, and safeguards against abortion coercion.

“On the anniversary of Dobbs, Senate leaders demonstrated that protecting human life remains an important national priority,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “These legislative proposals recognize both the humanity of unborn children and the need to support mothers, families, and vulnerable individuals facing pressure or discrimination.”

Among the measures highlighted are legislation to protect unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome, preserve conscience protections for health care providers, prevent taxpayer funding of abortion providers through Title X, support pregnant and parenting students, strengthen assistance for mothers and families, prohibit forced abortion, and expand protections for women and unborn children in both domestic and international policy.

Tobias said. “These proposals represent important steps toward protecting unborn children while providing meaningful support for women and families.”

National Right to Life particularly commended Senate leaders for using the Dobbs anniversary to draw attention to legislation that addresses the many ways public policy can affirm the dignity of every human life.

“Whether protecting a child diagnosed with Down syndrome, defending the conscience rights of health care professionals, helping pregnant students continue their education, supporting mothers in need, or preventing coercive abortions, these measures reflect the principle that every human life has inherent value and deserves protection,” Tobias said.

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of affiliates in each of the 50 states, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.

WASHINGTON — Today marks the fourth anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and restored to the American people and their elected representatives the authority to enact laws protecting unborn children.

“Four years ago, the Supreme Court corrected a grave injustice by overturning Roe v. Wade,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “For nearly fifty years, Roe prevented the American people from protecting unborn children through our elected representatives.”

Since the Dobbs decision, states have pursued dramatically different approaches to abortion policy. Some have enacted laws protecting unborn children and supporting mothers facing unexpected pregnancies, while others have expanded abortion throughout pregnancy and eliminated longstanding protections.

“Dobbs was not the end of our work—it was the beginning of a new chapter,” Tobias said. “Every child deserves protection, and every mother deserves support. National Right to Life and our state affiliates will continue advocating for policies that protect unborn children, assist women and families, and foster a culture that values human life.”

Despite the historic victory in Dobbs, abortion remains legal throughout much of the country, including in several states that allow abortion until birth.

“For more than five decades, National Right to Life has worked to protect unborn children, help their mothers, and safeguard other vulnerable members of the human family,” Tobias said. “We remain committed to building a society where innocent human life is welcomed and protected.”

WASHINGTON — National Right to Life today announced its endorsement of Justin Murphy for election to the United States Senate from New Jersey, citing his strong commitment to protecting unborn children and advancing policies that respect the dignity of every human life.

New Jersey Right to Life PAC has also endorsed Justin Murphy for Senate.

“Justin Murphy has demonstrated a clear and consistent commitment to defending the most vulnerable members of the human family,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “At a time when fundamental questions about the protection of human life are being debated at both the state and federal levels, New Jersey voters deserve a senator who will stand firmly for the rights of unborn children, their mothers, persons with disabilities, and the elderly.”

Murphy has earned the support of National Right to Life and New Jersey Right Life PAC through his dedication to pro-life principles and his willingness to advocate for policies that protect innocent human life.

Tobias continued, “Justin Murphy understands the value and dignity of every human life, and we are proud to support his campaign for the United States Senate.”

Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Congress has assumed an increasingly important role in shaping national policies affecting unborn children and their families. National Right to Life believes Murphy’s leadership will be instrumental in advancing life-affirming policies and opposing efforts to expand abortion on demand.

“Justin Murphy has demonstrated the conviction, compassion, and leadership necessary to represent New Jersey families in the United States Senate,” Tobias added. “We look forward to working with him to advance protections for the unborn and other vulnerable members of our society.”
