Louisiana has prevented over 7,000 abortions since the Supreme Court Decision in Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade. And every abortion business in the state is closed.
Today marks the one year anniversary of the reversal of Roe v. Wade in the historic Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court Case.
Sarah Zagorski, Communications Director for Louisiana Right to Life, said: “We celebrate the momentous victory for life that occurred one year ago today on June 24, 2022. We are thankful that approximately 7,012 babies have been legally protected from abortion and that all three Louisiana abortion facilities have closed their doors. Louisiana is now a much safer place for moms and babies.”
She added, “Louisiana Right to Life will continue to help mothers, protect life, and support adoption across Louisiana. Through education and service, we also will continue promoting the work of pregnancy resource centers and resources like FindHelpLa.com.”
Although some women considering abortion may have gone to other states to have abortions, overall pro-life states have saved well over 32,000 babies from abortions. As LifeNews reported:
“#WeCount” —a national pro-abortion research project led by the Society of Family Planning—which describes itself as “a national abortion reporting effort that aims to capture the shifts in abortion access by state following the June 24, 2022 Dobbs v Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision.”

It’s the pro-abortion outfit that reported on the incredible drop both in national number of abortions as well as in Texas. The continued decrease in the number of “expected” abortions must have sent them into a tailspin.
Our first story was in early November. The data set “shows that in the two months after the Supreme Court decision, there were 10,570 fewer abortions as compared to pre-Dobbs estimates.” That was a nationwide drop of an estimated 6%. As for Texas, “Teresa Woodard of WFAA-TV reported on the impact in Texas. The astonishing headline read, ‘Report says 2,770 abortions were provided in Texas in April. By August, that number fell to 10.’”
These most encouraging statistics have been updated. The headline on CNN was “There were 32,000 fewer legal abortions in the six months after the Dobbs decision, new analysis suggests.”
