Earlier today, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) launched our Make America Pro-Life Again Roadmap, a policy overview outlining the legal and legislative strategy to take down abortion at the state and federal level.
Before the roadmap was revealed in a livestream on our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel, where several special guests joined SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins and Vice President of Media and Policy Kristi Hamrick. Additionally, Politico was given exclusive access to the plan and SFLAction leadership.
In their write up, Politico said, “Drawing on the playbook they successfully used under Roe v. Wade to regulate clinics out of existence and outlaw particular methods of abortion, conservative groups plan next year to file lawsuits targeting federal regulation of abortion pills and push legislation in Congress and in at least 15 states they believe can circumvent constitutional amendments and court rulings protecting the procedure.
Most of the bills target mifepristone — the drug used in more than two-thirds of abortions nationwide. Some attempt to wield environmental laws to cut off access, while others aim to replicate Louisiana’s new law designating abortion pills as controlled substances — a policy that patients and doctors claim in court has led to delays in treatment for miscarriages and postpartum hemorrhaging.
While President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans campaigned on a promise to leave abortion policy to the states, Students for Life is lobbying allies on Capitol Hill to ban telehealth prescriptions of abortion pills and slash funding for colleges and universities that provide abortion pills through student health centers.”

At 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 12, SFLAction held it’s livestreamed news conference, where our leaders were joined by U.S. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, West Virginia State Sen. Patricia Rucker, Wyoming State Sen. Tim Salazar, and Arizona State Rep. Rachel Jones, pro-life champions who have been strong allies to SFLAction and have even sponsored or introduced SFLAction inspired legislation.
Each guest provided their own unique perspective on why defending preborn life is truly the human rights issue of our time, a critically important fight to protect our nations soul, and even the knock-on effects that protecting life can have on the economy, tourism, and the environment.
