The Rev. Franklin Graham, head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, posted a statement to his official Facebook account celebrating the decision.

“The radical left is calling for a ‘night of rage,’ pregnancy centers are already being vandalized and attacked, and our U.S. Supreme Court justices are being targeted with threats and intimidation,” stated Graham.

“Roe v. Wade, passed 49 years ago, has resulted in the deaths of over 63 million innocent children in this country. Sadly, this decision is not an end to abortion—it pushes the battle back to the states.”

Graham went on to call the Dobbs ruling “one of the most significant rulings in my lifetime,” he prayed that “every state will enact protections for children in the womb and that our nation will value life and recognize the rights of our most vulnerable.”
