Once-fringe activists are fighting to be the voice of the anti-abortion movement

Because they believe laws that protect abortion access to be morally illegitimate, activists are even working in states where they have extremely low chances of success. In Missouri, for example, legislators have introduced an abolitionist bill, though a majority of voters enshrined a right to abortion in the constitution. Bradley Pierce, president of a Texas-based nonprofit called the Foundation to Abolish Abortion (FAA), called the Missouri amendment "null and void."
"We are relying on the principle of higher law in the state of Missouri," Pierce wrote in an email. "State and local officials," he wrote, "have the duty to obey the higher law of God."
