The pro-life group Americans United for Life (AUL) has released its annual “Life List” revealing its full rankings of every U.S. state from most to least pro-life.
The group said in a press release that over the course of 2023, U.S. states “have been very active in considering life-related policy” with both pro-life and pro-abortion legislation.
“Thanks to the groundwork state legislatures laid to prepare for the fall of [Roe v. Wade] and their response thereafter, hundreds of thousands of innocent preborn lives will be saved in the coming years,” the group said. “With the freedom to defend life restored, state lawmakers now pass life-affirming laws with confidence to protect women, preborn children, and families.”
AUL’s list showed Arkansas as the most pro-life state in the country. This was the state’s fourth year claiming that title, AUL said, with Arkansas holding the spot due to its having “maintained existing protections for life and enacted an additional nine life-protecting laws.”
