Not a single state banned abortion in our country's first century.

When abortion was illegal, there was no organized, aggressive antiabortion movement with a wing of violent fanatics.

98 percent of black women and 93% of black men voted for Democratic Senator-elect Doug Jones yesterday in Alabama, a state where black people make up a quarter of the population. Black voters made up 28% of the electorate on Tuesday, a turnout that hasn’t been seen since President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns. Since those numbers started to trickle in late last night and early this morning, one thing became clear: black voters saved America from Roy Moore.

For the past two decades, the Knights of Columbus' fundraising and activism have gone to bolster anti-abortion and anti-marriage equality initiatives.
