Pro-abortion activists are channeling Chicken Little and declaring, “The sky is falling!” If Roe v Wade is overturned they say thousands of women will die. The truth is women will not only benefit but flourish without abortion. You’ll hear from one woman who was denied an abortion under the Texas Heartbeat Act and is now thankful for it. A fetal development expert paints a verbal picture of the beautiful unborn baby within the womb. Another compares America’s extreme laws on abortion with the rest of the world. Chicken Little had it wrong then and America’s pro-abortion activists have it wrong now. Women and their babies will thrive in a post-Roe America.

The Sky Isn’t Falling: Realities of a Post-Roe America
While nearly all of Western Europe has laws limiting abortion to 15 weeks or earlier, in America, that’s not the story. Reversing the Roe decision sends legislation back to the states where abortion laws would reflect the will of the people—and basic human compassion.

Kenya is a mom from Texas who contemplated abortion because of her dire circumstances. She didn’t believe she had the financial capability of taking care of another child. She already had two sons, 8 and 2-years-old. But due to the new prolife Texas Heartbeat Act, she was able to find a Texas prolife pregnancy center who helped and supported her every step of the way. God was also walking with her through this time in a very real way. She and her 8-year-old son are very happy to be welcoming a new baby boy to their family.
