The Mountain State\u2019s leadership continues to be noticed, and we\u2019re genuinely influencing other states with pro-life values.<\/p>\n<p>One of my WV friends responded with, \u201cThis is good, but how about we outlaw abortion&#8230;period!\u201d That\u2019s definitely the goal. Legal challenges are certain, however, and they would wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s door. So long as we lack a majority of justices willing to overturn <em>Roe<\/em>, each opportunity that SCOTUS turns away from tends to actually make it worse (for example, consider the new \u201cundue burden\u201d standard crafted by the 1992 <em>Casey<\/em> ruling). Even just last summer the high court overturned dismemberment abortion ban laws such as ours\u2014a WVFL victory, passed in 2016, now wrongfully deemed unconstitutional and unenforceable.<\/p>\n<p>Overturning the bad precedents of <em>Roe <\/em>is doable, but it will require a willing court. Sadly, indications are it\u2019s not there yet, but we\u2019re making headway. We\u2019ve got to keep a pro-life President in office and a pro-life majority in the Senate, to keep getting better judges &amp; justices on the bench at all levels. Your pro-life <em>support and vote <\/em>are needed now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/west-virginia-governor-signs-law-requiring-medical-care-for-babies-who-survive-abortion.html\">Click here to read the C.P. article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Join us: <a href=\"http:\/\/wvforlife.org\/membership\">wvforlife.org\/membership<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Better yet, step up to <a href=\"http:\/\/wvforlife.org\/membership\"><strong><em>Rose Society Membership<\/em><\/strong><\/a> while you\u2019re there!<\/p>\n<p>Already a member?
