Although the rest of us won\u2019t know the results for a few more months, the Supreme Court has already voted in Dobbs, the case challenging <em>Roe v. Wade\u2019s<\/em> invention of a constitutional right to an abortion. The opinions are being drafted, circulated, and revised. The general expectation is that <em>Roe <\/em>will go; even many abortion supporters seem resigned to that.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion opponents have been burned before, and it could happen again. But we should not allow fear to keep us from planning for victory. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, overturning <em>Roe <\/em>will not end the struggle to protect human life in utero, but it is the breakout battle. Under <em>Roe <\/em>and the subsequent <em>Casey <\/em>decision, we have been besieged deep in our own territory, trying tactic after tactic to get around the constraints the Supreme Court placed on us. With <em>Roe <\/em>gone, abortion policy will be set by the states \u2014 there is an <a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/elean\/Downloads\/(there%20is%20a%20case%20to%20be%20made%20that%20abortion%20is%20unconstitutional,%20but%20no%20one%20expects%20the%20Court%20to%20embrace%20it)\">argument<\/a> that abortion is unconstitutional, but no one expects the Supreme Court to embrace it in this case.<\/p>\n<p>Without <em>Roe<\/em>, state laws protecting human life in the womb will not be constantly blocked by the federal courts. Thus, many states will promptly enforce laws restricting abortion. <\/p>\n<p>Some of these laws are from before <em>Roe <\/em>and some were designed to go into effect if <em>Roe <\/em>was overturned. However, states controlled by the abortion industry and its allies will continue to permit abortion on demand, and even increase their pro-abortion efforts. Also, although Democrats are unlikely to dominate Congress sufficiently to legislatively impose abortion on demand on the entire nation, the Biden administration\u2019s control of the federal bureaucracy still gives them a lot of power.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"prepare-to-counter-new-tactics\">Prepare to Counter New Tactics<\/h2>\n<p>Abortion opponents need to prepare ourselves to counter the new tactics the other side will use if <em>Roe <\/em>goes. Pro-abortion states will encourage abortion tourism, even to the point of <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/wireStory\/california-plans-abortion-sanctuary-roe-overturned-81628113\">providing state abortion funding<\/a> for residents of other states. We should also expect abortion advocates to increase the harassment of crisis pregnancy centers that provide support for women looking for alternatives. The abortion lobby does not want any other options.<\/p>\n<p>The pro-abortion endgame, however, is mail-order abortion. Telemedicine and the abortion pill regime will be used to circumvent state restrictions on abortion. Democrats are already <a href=\"https:\/\/mhealthintelligence.com\/news\/hhs-to-distribute-35m-to-support-telehealth-expansion-for-title-x-program\">shoveling<\/a> money to Planned Parenthood for telehealth contraception, knowing that this will be used for abortion \u2014 if not now, then soon. Other gimmicks are possible, such as hosting abortion clinics on federal land, but the primary goal is for abortion pill mills in places such as New York City to flood the rest of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, though we should rejoice at the end of <em>Roe<\/em>, it is not the end of the fight to protect human life in the womb. We should take heart, though, for undoing <em>Roe <\/em>proves that the march of history is not one of pro-abortion inevitability. We can win.<\/p>\n<p>Essential to our hope for victory is the truth is that abortion is an evil that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tearing-Us-Apart-Abortion-Everything\/dp\/1684513502\">makes everything worse<\/a>. It is an impediment to human flourishing. This is why, despite apocalyptic predictions from the left, life will go on after <em>Roe <\/em>is overturned \u2014 indeed, more lives will go on. This is clear in states that have already imposed restrictions on abortion. Texas has been just fine since its heartbeat bill went into effect, and Missouri has not suffered from pushing nearly all elective abortions outside its borders.<\/p>\n<p>Once <em>Roe <\/em>is gone, we must work state-by-state to limit abortion and to remove abortion clinics from an increasing area of America. Abortion on demand needs to be geographically confined \u2014 a regional peculiarity, rather than a national norm. Isolating and containing the evil of elective abortion will prepare the way for its national abolition.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"funding-support-defunding-planned-parenthood\">Funding Support, Defunding Planned Parenthood<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, as we restrict abortion, we must continue to provide support for mothers and children. We should increase giving to local pregnancy centers and pro-life medical <a href=\"https:\/\/tepeyacobgyn.com\/\">practices<\/a>. Good family policy will also be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2021\/11\/29\/thoughts-on-a-post-roe-agenda\/\">essential<\/a>, and conservative scholars are <a href=\"https:\/\/eppc.org\/author\/patrick_brown\/\">rising<\/a> to the challenge. State governments should follow the example Texas set by pairing its <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/07\/yes-pro-lifers-should-cheer-for-texass-winning-new-unborn-protection-law\/\">heartbeat bill<\/a> with generous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2021\/04\/30\/texas-will-spend-100-million-on-program-to-help-women-and-save-babies-from-abortion\/\">funding<\/a> to care for women and children.<\/p>\n<p>We must simultaneously fight to defund Planned Parenthood \u2014 we should fund babies, not abortions. It is shameful that Republicans have allowed billions of taxpayer dollars to fill the coffers of the nation\u2019s largest abortion chain. Republicans have had chances to end this, but have pursued other priorities. It is long past time to primary ostensibly pro-life GOP politicians who will not end the flow of government cash to abortionists.<\/p>\n<p>GOP office-holders also need to prepare to use the federal bureaucracy effectively, and the pro-life movement needs to get ready to staff it. Democrats\u2019 scheme for big-city mail-order abortion pill mills supplying the entire nation will be impossible if the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services do their jobs and follow the law. Republicans are bad at directing the administrative state even when nominally in charge of it, and they are even worse at oversight of the bureaucracy when the Democrats control it.<\/p>\n<p>The fight to protect human life in the womb will not, alas, end with overturning <em>Roe <\/em>\u2014 and we must be wary, for the Democrats will revive <em>Roe <\/em>if they regain the Supreme Court. But if we prepare and persist for the next phase of the struggle, we will be able to restrain the evil of abortion far more effectively than we have been able to under Roe.<\/p>\n<p>God willing, <em>Dobbs <\/em>will allow us to finally go on offense against the evil of abortion.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Nathanael Blake is a senior contributor to The Federalist and a postdoctoral fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is time to prepare for life after Roe.
