What is Roe v. Wade?

 

Roe v. Wade is a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding abortion. Roe v. Wade along with its companion case, Doe v. Bolton, radically changed U.S. law, social policy and culture by creating a federal constitutional right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Roe and Doe struck down all state abortion laws. Since Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton were handed down on January 22, 1973, about 55 million abortions have been performed in the United States.  LEARN MORE

40 Years Too Long

Forty represents the number of years since abortion became legal throughout pregnancy in all 50 states. For too long, women have felt pressured to "choose" abortion, feeling there was no other option. Abortion can be a very traumatic experience for both women, men, and other family and friends involved. Many women have spoken out about the harm abortion caused. Men, too, have shared how abortion has negatively impacted them. LEARN MORE
Wyandotte Right to Life

In Wyandotte, people gathered to prayerfully bring the destruction of abortion before God. Forty years of abortion on demand is too long. No woman wants to have an abortion, yet every year more than a million women put themselves through this dangerous procedure. Abortion doesn't solve problems, it only creates new ones. Abortion doesn't help women, it hurts them.

55 Million Too Many
