    If it were otherwise, the U.S. would have seen waves of legislation in support of pregnant people and children after the fall of Roe, especially in states like Texas where abortion is banned. But despite having had nearly 50 years to develop such policies and legislation while the anti-abortion movement worked to topple Roe, these “pro-life” politicians have done little to nothing, even in the dozens of state legislative sessions convened in the year since Dobbs. They’ve had plenty of time to put in place policies and programs that genuinely “defend life” and protect “women’s health.” They instead chose simply to ban abortion and to criminalize pregnant people and abortion providers and call it a day.
