Statement on Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
Over the past nearly 50 years since the Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade decision there have been over 63 million abortions performed by abortion clinics across the U.S. Each of these lives represent a person with immense value and tremendous potential. Over these past 50 years, much work has been done by pregnancy centers, pro-life organizations, and churches across the nation to limit abortions and offer a viable alternative to the cultural lie that abortion is the only way out. While this work has made huge strides, Roe v. Wade has continued to stand in the way of making abortion unthinkable in our country.
The news today of the Supreme Court’s decision concerning Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has offered a very important legal victory for the protection of the unborn and men and women. This decision will cause people on every side to rethink what abortion looks like in the future. But while this victory will echo throughout the pro-life world, the battle for life will continue. This is why at Richland Pregnancy Services, we believe this decision only provides the beginning of a new phase in the movement to protect all human life. As this decision with massive implications will be discussed, debated, and applied over the next few months, we do not believe this is a moment to back down. God continues to call RPS to fulfill our mission of offering the message of life to men and women in unexpected pregnancies. We will remain steadfast in our work to protect the most vulnerable among us, care for families in need, and pray for the life-giving hope of Jesus Christ to overwhelm lives caught in the lie that death is the only option. Our work is just as important as ever and we look forward to many more years of serving as a champion of life in North Central Ohio.
