It's official. The Supreme Court ruled Friday to return abortion law to the states, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade.
Pro-life organizations and activists have been working towards this day since 1973 and now, they're rejoicing.
“Our prayers have been answered. Now that Roe v. Wade is gone, we move from the court of law to the court of public opinion. We know that unborn babies are human beings who need our protection. We must now work to influence leaders across the country to take a bold stand to defend innocent life,” Young America's Foundation President and former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker released in a statement.
This is a win for women! This is a win for children! Babies lives matter and they always will.

Today's ruling is the culmination of decades of public advocacy, of unheralded acts of love and mercy, and of unrelenting prayers for justice for the unborn and their mothers. It will be remembered and celebrated as one of the most important days in the history of this country...

Country owes a HUGE debt of thanks to all the pro-life human rights activists, scholars, lawyers, politicians, parents, pastors, health care workers, etc., who labored for 50 long and hard years to bring the country to this moment of liberation from Roe. THANK YOU.

There are children who were scheduled to die today that will live instead. https://t.co/g82n26fumP

For years, @Mike_Pence has called for Roe to be sent to the ash heap of history. Today is that day. Thankful for everything you've done to help get our nation to this point.
