Ever since the announcement of Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement yesterday, discussion of Roe v. Wade has been reinvigorated. In 1973, Roe forced abortion on demand, at all stages of pregnancy, on all 50 states. Today, over one million preborn children are aborted annually in the United States, and abortion has spread across the world due to American influence. But, with a cataclysmic Supreme Court change on the horizon, the human injustice that is Roe v. Wade may be seeing its final hours.
Pro-life groups, which have worked for decades to bring life to women, children, and families, are calling for the final overturn of Roe.
The Susan B. Anthony List, named for one of the first pro-life feminists in American history, posted their thoughts that Roe v. Wade is on a collision course:

SBA List continued, asserting that Roe v. Wade, at its core, has always been unconstitutional:
Wrong, @SenSchumer.
It’s time for the Supreme Court to resoundingly reverse the tragic Roe v. Wade decision.
Because the Constitution exists to protect ??? Americans, born ??? unborn. #ProLife pic.twitter.com/WZD5awprXP

Americans United for Life, a top pro-life legal group posted on Facebook that overturning Roe is “the fight we’ve been waiting for”:

Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins called for pro-lifers to be ready to take peaceful action to end the injustice in our nation:
THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Kennedy is RETIRING. We can overturn Roe and Doe. We can #abolishabortion in our lifetime. Get ready, #prolifegen! Lots of work to come! 2018 Elections will be key!

Live Action broadcasted the reality that overturning Roe right now is a chance we cannot allow to pass us by:
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade and legally secure the most basic right to life for preborn children. Roe v. Wade was a unjust decision that has deeply wounded our country and killed over 60 million preborn children.

The Charlotte Lozier Institute, named after one of the nation’s first female physicians (she was pro-life), reminded people that Supreme Court experts agree Roe is in the same caliber of decisions as Dred Scott:

It’s time to resign Roe to the ash heap of history and let life and compassion for all human beings rise in its place.
