Pro-Life Laws are Saving Babies From Abortions. Here’s More Proof

More evidence verifies that pro-life laws save lives, not merely by preventing all abortions, but by limiting the time during which they may be carried out. The data come from the annual abortion facility survey from Operation Rescue.

“Nearly one-third (30%) of abortion [facilities] commit surgical abortions at 20 weeks or later,” notes the report tragically. “Thirty-seven percent of abortion [facilities] limit the gestational age to 13.9 weeks and under for surgical abortions. However, it should be noted that heartbeat protection laws in four states drive up the number in that category considerably, especially in Florida, which currently has the third highest number of abortion [facilities] — all of which are now required to limit abortions to far less than 14 weeks.”

Based on this comment, we see the abortion industry would gladly extend abortion to the moment of birth. Even incremental approaches toward the ultimate goal of protecting all babies in law make a difference, by denying abortionists their goal of committing abortion until birth.

But the report shows the opposite is also true: A lack of legal protections for the unborn jeopardizes older and older babies. “Of the 36 states with legalized abortion, 25%,” or nine states, “house one or more [facilities] that commit abortions beyond the maximum gestational age documented in 2023,” it says.

The report noted that states with fewer abortion facilities, such as Utah, have higher costs — apparently indicating another way in which pro-life laws save lives.
