This year has been a record for pro-life laws, with states enacting 106 abortion restrictions thus far, according to Planned Parenthood’s former \u201cspecial affiliate<\/a>\u201d and research arm, the Guttmacher Institute<\/a>. The new total now surpasses the number of abortion restrictions passed since Roe v. Wade<\/em> was decided in 1973, the pro-abortion group claimed. Live Action News previously\u00a0reported<\/a> that by May 2021, over 500 pro-life laws had already introduced in the U.S. this year.<\/p>\n

“States have enacted<\/a> 106 abortion restrictions so far in 2021, a year that has been marked by unprecedented threats to U.S. abortion rights and access,” Guttmacher wrote in their release.<\/p>\n

“Not only is 106 the highest number of restrictions passed since Roe v. Wade<\/em> was decided in 1973, but also this year is the first time that Guttmacher\u2019s count of enacted restrictions has hit triple digits. Earlier this year<\/a>, the number of restrictions had already surpassed the previous record of 89 restrictions set in 2011,” the group also noted<\/a>.\u00a0“In total, 19 states have enacted 106 restrictions, including 12 abortion bans.”<\/p>\n

Guttmacher, which tracks pro-life legislation, also claimed 1,336 pro-life laws have been enacted since the infamous Supreme Court case thrust abortion on the nation in 1973. The group also\u00a0calculated that 44% of those “abortion restrictions” were enacted in just the last decade alone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While Guttmacher\u00a0joins the abortion industry in opposing every abortion restriction, the American public is ambivalent about abortion, especially later in pregnancy \u2014 when, thanks to Roe’s<\/em> companion decision, Doe v. Bolton<\/em>, babies can be legally aborted for any reason mere days before their due date<\/a>. As such, abortion restrictions are lawmakers’ way of responding to the will of their constituents.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0New poll: Most Americans still favor significant restrictions on abortion<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a January 2021 Marist Poll<\/a>, three quarters of Americans, including a majority who identify as “pro-choice,” want significant restrictions on abortion. The poll found that 76% of Americans would support restricting abortion 1) to the first three months of a pregnancy (25%), 2) except in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother (28%), and\/or 3) to only save the life of the mother (11%). Twelve percent (12%) would ban it completely.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the most recent Gallup poll for May 2021<\/a>\u00a0also shows that the American public would like to see abortion severely restricted. It revealed<\/a> that 67% of those polled wanted abortions to be legal only under certain conditions (48%) or illegal in all cases (19%).<\/p>\n
