A Movement in Crisis: The Post-Roe Era for Anti-Abortion Activists

In the wake of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, the anti-abortion movement finds itself disunited and worried with the upcoming presidential election. Despite key legislative victories, internal discord and public opinion challenges have hindered their post-Roe strategy. Pro-life leaders acknowledge setbacks and emphasize the need for a stronger game plan.

Just two years ago, anti-abortion activists were euphoric after the US Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade decision, effectively ending the nationwide right to abortion.

Now, with a presidential election fast approaching, their movement is riddled with second-guessing and internal discord. Fears are growing that Election Day might validate their cause's unpopularity.

Anti-abortion leaders like Michael New and Carol Tobias acknowledge the challenges since the Roe ruling. They cite a recent losing streak on abortion-related ballot measures in key states and emphasize the need for better planning and public engagement to ensure their success in future elections.
