Pro-life groups and activists are celebrating a report from the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute showing that states have enacted more pro-life laws in 2021 than in any other year.

The July 1 report from the Guttmacher Institute shows that in the first six months of 2021, 90 pro-life laws were enacted, beating the old record of 89 in all 12 months of 2011.

Guttmacher calls it the "worst legislative year ever for U.S. abortion rights." Pro-life activists, though, are calling it the best year.

"Let's keep up the momentum for the rest of the year!" tweeted Michael J. New, a professor at the Catholic University of America.

Among the pro-life laws, according to Guttmacher, are:

• Near-total bans on abortion in Arkansas and Oklahoma.


• Six-week abortion bans in Idaho, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.


• A 20-week abortion ban in Montana.


• Restrictions on medical abortions (the "abortion pill") in Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota and West Virginia.


• Laws protecting babies who survive an abortion in Alabama, Kentucky, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming.
