Roe v. Wade was never the biggest obstacle that pro-life forces were facing. Of course if Roe is overturned it will be one of the best things to happen in this nation in decades. And Roe must be overturned before any U.S. states can actually take the step of outlawing abortion. So I am not downplaying the significance of Roe v. Wade. However, as you will see below, we have a far bigger problem than Roe v. Wade in front of us, and it is a problem that cannot be fixed by a court of law.

There are many people out there on both sides of the debate that think that the number of abortions in the U.S. will go way down if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

But that is not true.

According to an expert that was quoted by USA Today, the number of abortions in the U.S. will only drop by 13 percent if the Supreme Court does away with Roe.

The abortion industry is absolutely horrified that we could witness a 13 percent shift, but that would mean that 87 percent of the abortions that are happening now would still take place if Roe was overturned.

So if Roe is overturned, what we really need is for laws that would completely ban abortion to be passed all over the nation.

The laws that are currently in place in many states that would restrict abortions after the six, eight, fifteen or twenty week marks would not actually ban most abortions. If we want to end abortion, we need to pass laws that ban it from “the moment an egg is fertilized.”
