"The Supreme Court decision of January 22, 1973, overthrowing all existing abortion laws, led
to an enormous growth in the movement. The National Right to Life Committee which had
been founded in 1968 under the auspices of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops,
in 1973 became autonomous and non-sectarian. It is the largest and most influential national
organization, with well over two thousand local affiliates by the 1980s."
