Opinion: With the end of Roe, America must build an infrastructure of life

The most important work of the anti-abortion movement may be what lies ahead in a post-Roe America. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial for people of faith and good conscience to lend a hand in building a renewed infrastructure of life.

The Supreme Court’s decision to return abortion law to the states is the right one, legally and morally, and we hope it will ultimately do what Roe v. Wade never did: calm the debate over one of America’s most divisive issues.

That won’t seem possible initially. The buildup to today’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health included the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion which further inflamed political rancor. And, in the coming days, things could get even worse. There have already been credible threats of violence at crisis pregnancy centers and even churches, as well as threats to the lives of Supreme Court justices. One group has called for a “night of rage” over the decision.
