An abridged version of this article appeared in the Deseret News on May 3, 2022, titled, \u201cNow is the beginning of the pro-life movement, not the end.\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n

For the first time in almost 50 years, the United States Supreme Court appears to be moving towards a strong position in support of unborn life.\u00a0 As reported all week, a leaked initial draft of the majority opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of <\/span>Dobbs vs. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/span><\/i> has indicated that the majority of the Supreme Court in their initial vote stood squarely in favor of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justice Alito, the author of the draft opinion, states boldly, \u201cWe hold that <\/span>Roe<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Casey<\/span><\/i> must be overruled.\u201d\u00a0 The majority opinion challenges the legal reasoning of <\/span>Roe<\/span><\/i> and notes that no right to abortion is to be found in the Constitution.\u00a0 Further, it says, \u201cIt is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people\u2019s elected representatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Woefully, more than 62 <\/span>million<\/span><\/i> unborn children have been aborted in the United States since <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 A case that was to guarantee that abortion was \u201csafe and rare\u201d has grievously proven otherwise in the decades since. The debate between whether an unborn child even has the right to exist vs. the right of a mother to control her body has sided with the mother with terrible consequences for both.\u00a0 In addition to the millions of precious and unique lives snuffed out, women who are supposed to be happy and \u201cempowered\u201d by the procedure come away carrying additional psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet even while some liberal states enact laws permitting abortion up until birth, we are witnessing more broadly the dawning of a significant shift toward greater comprehension and value of life. With greater scientific advancements such as ultrasound technology that show the incredible process of fetal development at earlier and earlier stages, people are better understanding that every unborn baby is unique and will continue to develop if given the opportunity. Science has now proven that a fetus in utero can, in fact, feel pain and will attempt to avoid it if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

As more Americans see with their own eyes the undeniable humanity of these tiny human beings, they can no longer remain silent. The science now informs an emboldened culture that recoils from the violence of abortion and decidedly rejects industries that profit off of dismembering and selling fetal body parts. As more and more people are seeing past popular narratives that characterize abortion as an act of freedom, they are returning to a more consistent life ethic, one free from intentional harm and pain.\u00a0 This is the welcome cultural shift we are currently experiencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet as Cardinal Se\u00e1n P. O’Malley of Boston <\/span>noted earlier this year<\/span><\/a>, \u201cDismantling unjust laws is only the beginning. We still have the arduous task of creating a pro-life culture, of changing hearts and minds.\u201d As he continued, “our task is not to judge others, but to try to bring healing \u2026 to build a society that takes care of everybody, where every person counts, where every life is important.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was enlightening to read in Alito\u2019s proposed opinion that 30 states had laws against abortion when <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> was decided.\u00a0 Clearly, the majority of the states of the Union did <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> support this decision. And in the present <\/span>Dobbs<\/span><\/i> case, 26 states joined in asking that <\/span>Roe<\/span><\/i> be overturned.\u00a0 The opinion asserts, \u201c<\/span>Roe <\/span><\/i>was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, <\/span>Roe <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Casey <\/span><\/i>have enflamed debate and deepened division.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Presuming the text of this majority opinion remains unchanged, this ruling will effectively end the <\/span>Roe<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Casey<\/span><\/i> charade that there is some nebulous right to kill one\u2019s unborn baby found somewhere in the words and spaces within the Constitution.\u00a0 The justices affirm clearly that no such Constitutional right exists.\u00a0 And then they hand the issue back to the people\u2014where it has always belonged. We the people have power in how we choose to move forward! We can choose division, or we can work towards common ways to strengthen our communities and states.\u00a0 The issue remains extremely divisive. But that too can change.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is most encouraging and hopeful about this majority opinion is the impact it will have on our culture and on our nation.\u00a0 We have before us an opportunity to grow a culture that embraces life, and demonstrates through our social networks of support what that really means. We are at a magnificent juncture of true emancipation and empowerment where we can show what it means to heal from old wounds, and build something better. We have the opportunity before us to work across the aisle and demonstrate a greater respect for life as a collective community pursuit and not just fodder for political games. We can now enshrine Life Culture as a national value for generations beyond just <\/span>Dobbs<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the wake of this likely decision, each state and its communities will be free to rise up in supporting women in crisis and their unborn family members. Those who have been toiling for years to protect the unborn and support their mothers will now begin to see their efforts rewarded with thousands and millions of lives being saved. The impact of those lives cannot be underestimated. Each is unique and innately worthy of respect. What potential will their lives unleash as more children are embraced by our communities? Their distinctive contributions will impact the world in ways we have yet to behold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Supreme Court does move forward in the formal issuance of this majority opinion, what will be the impact in our own state of Utah? In 2020, the Utah Legislature enacted SB174\u2014Senator Dan McCay\u2019s bill that would ban abortion with few exceptions (rape, incest, life of mother, severe fetal abnormality) if <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> were overturned.\u00a0 It appears that the day where this law favored by the people Utahns themselves have elected to represent them may be coming soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, over 3,000 babies are aborted in elective abortions annually in the State of Utah. The most immediate impact of this decision would be giving many thousands of babies in our own state a greater likelihood of being allowed to live, grow, and bless our homes. Granted, some women would still choose to travel to other states to end the lives of their children. But certainly, many thousands would be spared.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a state, we would have the opportunity to demonstrate how to celebrate women as they embark on their journey of sacred stewardship over a new life. We can surely do more to empower women to experience motherhood as a contributing asset to society, not just a liability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This shift in perspective is ours to create<\/span>\u2014<\/span>with the promise of many new citizens and families with fresh hope for their future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, organizations such as Pro-Life Utah and Pregnancy Resource Centers have actively supported vulnerable pregnant women with financial assistance, baby supplies, mentoring, connection to resources, and friendship.\u00a0 This is a work for all of us and will always be needed, even perhaps more as different states put in place their own laws. Women carrying heavy burdens need circles of trust and support that span the breadth of their motherhood. They need active and robust pregnancy resource centers that are well funded and supported. They need flexible and specialized accommodations in the school and workplace. But most of all, women need communities that embrace their children and families in a way that feels empowering. This is what our call to <\/span>maternal feminism<\/span><\/a> and Life Culture is all about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We now have an opportunity before us.\u00a0 Groups on either side of the issue have been united in their declared desire to support women. As the legal landscape shifts further, we can choose to unite together more (not less) and combine our efforts together. As we do so, we can do what it takes to provide a robust and thriving safety net for women, which includes medical services, mental health support, financial support, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Supreme Court draft opinion states, \u201cWe do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today\u2019s decision overruling <\/span>Roe <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Casey<\/span><\/i>. And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision. We can only do our job, which is to interpret the law, apply long-standing principles of <\/span>stare decisis<\/span><\/i>, and decide this case accordingly. We, therefore, hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. <\/span>Roe <\/span><\/i>and<\/span> Case<\/span><\/i>y must be overruled<\/span><\/a>, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In light of this welcome draft ruling, Utah must stand committed to protecting both mothers and babies.\u00a0 Although there are those who argue passionately that the rights of the unborn are secondary, most Utahns feel differently with equal passion. This is a state centered on the family.\u00a0 We must continue to seek to lessen trauma, and reduce violence. Our Legislature has stood firm to boldly protect the rights of our preborn children, and we are grateful for their courage in their continued defense of our most vulnerable citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we await the final outcome of this case, we are hopeful the Supreme Court justices who have voted initially to overturn <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> will remain courageous in honoring this life ethic. No matter what happens over the next few months, we have confidence that a new Life Culture era awaits.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
