Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The Victory Is In Jeopardy

Jul 6, 2022

The Dobbs abortion decision is having a global impact. Having seen the evil face of abortion and the destruction of helpless children, we celebrate that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey are gone. And we give thanks to God.

But now, following the Dobbs decision, the battle for life has intensified in Congress, the state legislatures and the state courts.

If any two of four pro-abortion senators change their vote on the filibuster, the 60-vote rule will be abolished, and the abortion bill in the Senate will force abortion on ALL the states. We cannot rest. We could easily lose this great victory for life.

In addition, governors are facing incredible pressure and rapid-fire litigation regarding abortion. Fax members of the Senate and state leaders to urge them to protect life and end abortion now. — Your Faith & Liberty team

An abortion bill has already passed the U.S. House and just needs to get through the Senate. Earlier this year, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) said they oppose abolishing the 60-vote filibuster rule. So did Republican Senators Susan Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK). But all FOUR want to codify Roe v. Wade as a federal law.

If only two of these four senators cave and support the “nuclear option” to erase the filibuster, they can pass the abortion bill. But it will not stop there.

Violence erupted around the Arizona capitol building with legislators trapped inside. The violent protesters had to be dispersed with tear gas. Sen. Sinema is from Arizona. The pressure on members of Congress is intense.

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) exclaimed, “The hell with the Supreme Court.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also bemoaned the ruling, “Today is one of the darkest days our country has ever seen.” Standing in front of the Court in March 2020, Schumer threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, saying: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!”

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has called on Congress to “restore the protections of Roe v. Wade as federal law.”

We want to emphasize again, IF ONLY TWO MORE SENATORS VOTE TO ABOLISH THE 60-VOTE FILIBUSTER RULE, THE DOBBS DECISION WILL BE ERASED AND ABORTION WILL AGAIN BE FORCED ON THE STATES.

Faith & Liberty seeks to defend life, preserve the family as God defines the family and fight for religious freedom. After Dobbs, the battle for life has now intensified. We will continue fighting in Congress and in the states.

Help us defend the children!

The battle will primarily focus on the states now that Roe and Casey have been overturned.

You can support Faith & Liberty with a monthly recurring gift as we defend the lives of preborn babies on Capitol Hill.

If the filibuster is abolished, and abortion and other bad bills become law, the elections this fall will not undo these terrible bills. Even if there is a change in leadership in the U.S. House and Senate this fall and Congress votes to repeal these bills, Joe Biden will veto their vote. These terrible bills will remain law for more than two years—at a minimum!

Sen. Murkowski told CBS the Dobbs abortion decision “creates a growing need for the Senate to pass the ‘Women's Health Protection Act,’” which is the abortion bill. In addition, Sen. Collins stated she supported Kavanaugh's nomination to the Court because she “believed he would uphold Roe v. Wade.”

The Dobbs decision said that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” Indeed, abortion has no basis in the Constitution. Urge our federal and state leaders to protect life and end abortion!

We have worked decades for this magnificent VICTORY FOR LIFE. This decision will reverberate around the world. Law students will be taught about Dobbs and not about the constitutionally baseless Roe and Casey opinions. And best of all, many children will now live who may have died a cruel death!

Please be in prayer for our country and for us. And please prayerfully consider supporting Faith & Liberty. A generous Challenge Grant will effectively DOUBLE the impact of your donation.
