The pro-life movement is experiencing important “victories” following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with the recent closures of two Planned Parenthood facilities in Houston serving as a prime example, according to a statement from the movement.
The pro-life movement views the Supreme Court’s decision to return abortion regulation to the states as a strategic advantage. This shift is seen as beneficial because the movement’s strength lies in its grassroots institution at the state level. Previously, Planned Parenthood’s strong presence in Washington D.C. was considered a weakness for the pro-life cause.

The closures in Houston are presented as evidence that the pro-life movement is well-equipped for a post-Roe America. The statement suggests that Planned Parenthood is not an insurmountable entity
