Soon, "the high court’s justices will begin their review of a Louisiana abortion law that could signal a major turning point in the long movement against abortion...
More than 200 pro-life members of Congress....called on the Supreme Court to reconsider both Roe v. Wade and the subsequent 1992 decision Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which created the ambiguous 'undue burden' standard [Thougb they self-identify as "pro life," neither Senator Casey nor Rep Fitzpatrick signed that pro life amicus brief.]....
we must dig in and stand the ground on this most pressing and preeminent cause of our time" (National Catholic Register, 1/22/20) 

Add your name to a pro life amicus brief.
