(This content is also available as a Facebook post and Twitter thread.) Your resident lawyer Kelsey here. I am going to try my best to explain the Supreme Court’s order in the Texas case, subject to revision when I’ve had more sleep. First, it helps to understand what typically happens in abortion cases. A pro-life […]
[Today’s guest post is by attorney Leslie Corbly.] The philosophical makeup of the Supreme Court is fluid. With the addition of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the judicial philosophy of the majority of the Court’s members has once again shifted.

But here is video of Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran stating that is exactly what her proposed bill would do. Partial transcript below. (Chairman) Gilbert: […]
Last Friday, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed historic legislation to prohibit abortions where the baby’s heartbeat can be detected. The law includes exceptions for medical necessity, rape, and incest. The heartbeat law will not immediately confer protection on any Iowa children. There will be a legal challenge, and the law will almost certainly be enjoined […]
The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, commonly referred to as the “20-week ban” because supporters rely on evidence that children can feel pain 20 weeks after conception, is coming up for a vote in the Senate today. The House has already passed it. I’ve noticed some confusion about whether this is related to the […]
As many of you know, Mississippi voters will soon have the opportunity to recognize all human beings, from conception, as legal persons.

Pro-lifers are divided on the advisability of this […]
A U.S. District Judge has blocked recently passed legislation in Texas which would have required an ultrasound to be shown to the mother and have them hear the baby’s heartbeat prior to performing an abortion.
