Last week, Justice Stephen Breyer (pictured) announced that he will retire from the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Breyer took the bench in 1994. He has consistently opposed the right to life in the womb — and even halfway outside of it, as the author of the Stenberg v. Carhart opinion supporting partial-birth […]
Two days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard Dobbs v. Jackson oral arguments, The Cut published Claire Lampen’s analysis of the anti-abortion case presented by attorney Scott G. Stewart. She fairly concludes that his argument neglected and misrepresented key contextual facts (despite their explication in the amicus briefs). However, she erroneously alleges several false statements […]

I predict that five years from now, American opinion on abortion and Roe v. Wade will have moved in a strongly pro-life direction, as evidenced by reputable polls. I am not basing this prediction on a grand ethical revolution, as much as I would like to see that happen. Nor am I basing it on […]
The December 1st argument in Dobbs went well, with pundits across the spectrum predicting that a majority of Supreme Court Justices will uphold Mississippi’s ban on aborting unborn babies 15 weeks and older.

The Supreme Court has taken up the Biden administration’s lawsuit against the Texas Heartbeat Act and will hear oral arguments next Monday, November 1. This will not be an argument about the incorrectness of Roe and Casey. The Court has limited its consideration to one issue: “May the United States bring suit in federal court […]
The pro-life community is rightly excited about Dobbs, the 15-week abortion case which could finally bring American abortion law in line with scientific consensus (life in the womb plainly exists prior to viability), popular sovereignty (most Americans oppose abortion in the second and third trimesters), and international norms (the United States is one of only […]
Three church-state separation groups — the Freedom from Religion Foundation, Center for Inquiry, and American Atheists — have filed an amicus brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case concerning Mississippi’s law to protect children in the womb 15 weeks and older. The brief’s central argument is a conspiracy theory: the signatories claim that the […]
