But life-saving laws are at stake.
Today, we celebrate that 21 states have laws protecting life at 12 weeks or sooner. But with the abortion lobby trying to reverse our progress through ballot measures and litigation, pro-life laws and the lives they protect are at stake.
Pro-Life Laws protect about 200,000 lives annually
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, Dobbs v. Jackson, overruled Roe v. Wade. For the first time in nearly 50 years, the ability to protect babies in the womb was returned to the American people. Today, 21 states have enacted popular pro-life protections that protect babies at or before 15 weeks’ gestation, the point when science shows that they can feel pain. Some of those protections are currently blocked or working their way through the courts, but many are in effect, protecting women and saving babies’ lives. This map shows a comprehensive view of where America is today.
The Estimated Impact on abortions reflects 2020 CDC data or more recent state numbers. For states that protect life at fertilization, numbers reflect all abortions reported in the state. For states with heartbeat laws and pain-capable laws, numbers reflect estimates of abortions that would be prohibited under the law using gestational age data from the states and CDC.
States with laws shielding abortionists from being held accountable by pro-life laws in other states
Following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which prohibited Medicaid funding to Big Abortion, abortion facilities across the country are closing. Planned Parenthood, which leads Big Abortion, is experiencing many closures as taxpayer funding dries up and their crumbling infrastructure fails to keep pace with real health care providers.

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, ending forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry through Medicaid. The defunding provision, championed by SBA Pro-Life America and pro-life leaders in Congress, marks the greatest national pro-life victory since the Dobbs decision. Though abortion industry lawyers and activist judges have tried to block its enforcement, the bill’s passage accelerated the collapse of Planned Parenthood’s unsustainable business model. As Planned Parenthood facilities shut down, more women and families are turning to community health centers that outnumber them 15 to 1 and provide real, comprehensive care.
This table reflects the most recent information available on Planned Parenthood locations that have either closed or announced their closure following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. Planned Parenthood affiliates are already reporting significant financial losses and widespread layoffs. Many of the closures are in regions where Planned Parenthood’s own non-abortion services — like cancer screenings and contraception — had already sharply declined. In contrast, local community health centers continue to grow and expand access to real medical care for women and families.
Note: Better Alternatives (50-mile radius) means the number of better women’s health providers within a 50-mile driving distance of the closed Planned Parenthood location.
Despite the reversal of Roe, polls continue to show the American people want strong abortion limits. The American people recognize that the Democrat platform of taxpayer funded late-term abortion on demand is inhumane. Americans acknowledge that scientific advancements continue to point to the humanity of the child in the womb and they reject abortion extremism. Unfortunately, we’re seeing abortion extremism shape the Left’s post-Roe politics today.

They want no limits on abortion—in line with only 8 other countries in the world, alongside human rights abusers like Communist China and Vietnam. This position is deeply unpopular with the American people.
Today, nearly 3,000 health and pregnancy centers support mom and baby, as they outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities fourteen to one. They offer women loving support and real choices. Pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes help both mother and child, not pit one against the other. They provide multi-year support through food, housing, job training, child care, clothing and so much more. Over that last year, pro-life states passed hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to meet the needs of both mother and child.
