With the Dobbs decision overturning both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, welcome progress has been made in the effort to protect and promote human life at each stage of development. However, much work remains to be done, for now the matter of abortion will be decided state by state. Dobbs was a judicial decision, overturning a bad prior decision. The decision, in fact, has less to do with abortion than with the scope of the SCOTUS. The majority of justices voted to limit their own power, whereas Roe v. Wade extended that power to allow the SCOTUS to create law (which is the Legislature's purview). The SCOTUS affirmed nothing more than the claim that “the Nation’s historical understanding of ordered liberty does not prevent the people’s elected representatives from deciding how abortion should be regulated.” "We now...return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”
While we advocate for the abolition of abortion at the state level, we must continue and expand all our efforts to accompany women and couples who are facing unexpected or difficult pregnancies, and we must always offer our love and mercy to those suffering from abortion. There are many charities we can support; here are two I am suggesting:
Consider donating to the Lennon Pregnancy Center in Dearborn Heights. The Center was vandalized early in the morning of June 23rd by pro-abortionists, who smashed windows and doors, and left a threatening spray-painted message on the exterior of the building. The Lennon Pregnancy Center provides enrichment, non-judgmental advice, education, counseling, and material assistance before, during and after pregnancy, and is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. https://support-lennoncenter.org/donate/
Mary’s Mantle is a residential program rooted in the Catholic faith. The home is designed to accommodate four expectant mothers at a time who are at least eighteen years old, regardless of their religious affiliation. Mary’s Mantle is a safe haven where expectant mothers can fully realize their potential as children of a loving God. http://marysmantle.net

It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness. Project Rachel provides hope after abortion. https://hopeafterabortion.com
