THREAD: Ahead of Biden's State of the Union address tonight, let's take a look at the state of the unborn in 2023

#StateOfTheUnionAddress #SOTU 1/

In June last year the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs, overturning the dated Roe v. Wade decision, returning the power to save lives from abortion to the people and their elected representatives -- at the state and federal level. 2/

Already this year, pro-life states have hit the ground running to advance measures that protect unborn lives & empower moms:

ALABAMA: Adoption reform

ARKANSAS: Safe-haven baby boxes; Ensure companies who pay for abortion travel also offer 16 weeks maternity leave 3/

FLORIDA: No sales tax on baby/child/family items

INDIANA: Tax deduction for unborn child; $2 million for safe-haven baby box advertising; Stop local governments using tax dollars to assist in abortions 4/

MICHIGAN: Tax deduction for unborn child 4/

MISSISSIPPI: Tax credits; Fund pregnancy centers; Child support and adoption reform; Early Intervention Act for Infants and Toddlers; Safe Haven Law; Foster Care and Adoption Task Force; Child Support extension for children with disabilities 5/

MISSOURI: Property Tax Credit for day care facilities; Medicaid extension postpartum to one year

OKLAHOMA: Create a life.gov resource website; Require child support payments during pregnancy 6/

TENNESSEE: $10M to foster and adoption nonprofits; $100M for pregnancy centers; Paid family leave for state employees

TEXAS: Additional funding for Alternatives to Abortion program; Medicaid to immediately pay doctors; Improvements to Early Prevention and Intervention Program 7/

VIRGINIA: Born-alive protections; Create a state-run website for pregnancy and family resources

WEST VIRGINIA: Adoption tax credit; Funding for pregnancy centers

WYOMING: Postpartum screening; Safe baby treatment; Child development services; Medicaid extension postpartum 8/

And on Capitol Hill, two of the first bills voted on by the House were a bill requiring care for children born alive following an attempted abortion, and a resolution condemning pro-abortion attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches. 9/

Following the Dobbs ruling, we estimate 170,000 fewer babies may be killed by abortion each year.

And states are ramping up efforts to ensure moms get the resources they need.

The state of the unborn is the best it's been in 50 years.

And we're just getting started. 10/10
