Looking Back at 2021

Review of 2021 Prolife and International News

As we look at 2021 in the rearview mirror one image continues to stand out: the powerful perseverance of the prolife movement. With the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban before the Supreme Court and the Texas heartbeat law facing opposition from the federal government, we saw what the pro-life movement is made of.

Then we have an Editors’ Corner reflecting on international and other national highlights of 2021 as we continue our year in review coverage.
