And it’s also something I am committed to defending as a dad and your congressman. Tragically, since Roe v Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973, more than 63 million babies have been lost to abortion in America. Now, our United States Supreme Court is currently debating a case that could reform laws about life in our nation.
