The Atlantic has put together a wish list for a liberal Supreme Court, and the top priority is no surprise: Most obviously, Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion would be secure. State laws imposing restrictions on abortions would be far less likely to be upheld. Since 2010, states have adopted about 290 laws […]
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt, an abortion business’s challenge to an admitting privileges requirement and safety regulations in Texas. We desperately need Justice Kennedy to rule in favor of the legislation. The lives of women and unborn babies alike depend on it. There will be a […]
For the immediate future, Texas abortion businesses will not have to meet the same safety standards as other outpatient surgical centers. The regulation has been tied up in court since its passage almost two years ago. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the abortion industry plaintiffs on June 9, holding that the safety […]
In March, Secular Pro-Life reported that the Supreme Court had held oral argument in Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans, concerning the state of Texas’ decision to prohibit a license plate with the Confederate flag on it. Presumably the prohibition was based on the racist history and symbolism of the Confederate flag… except that, in […]
This morning, the Supreme Court holds oral argument in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. Although the case itself has nothing to do with life issues, the precedent it sets could have a major impact on funding for pregnancy resource centers and clinics. The Texas chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) […]
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Young v. UPS, which concerns the interpretation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The interpretation being advocated by the defendant would seriously undermine protections for pregnant mothers in the workplace—creating increased pressure to abort. As a result, the case attracted numerous amicus briefs, including one signed by 23 […]
[Today’s guest post by Chris Rostenberg is part of our paid blogging program.] When I first heard, in the 1990’s, that abortion was legal through all nine months of pregnancy, I couldn’t believe it. If that were true, why would it not be common knowledge? Why would there be debate over where life began? I […]
[Today’s guest post by Roni Cairns is part of our paid blogging program. An earlier version of this piece appeared on her personal blog.] Have you ever been told that a woman will lose all of her rights and become a second-class person, inferior, or subhuman if she cannot obtain a legal abortion? I have, […]
[Today’s guest post by Roger McCormack is part of our paid blogging program.] The tragedy that is late-term abortion recently received the approbation of the U.S. Supreme Court. A case pertaining to Arizona legislation banning abortion at 20 weeks, which the Ninth Circuit subsequently struck down as unconstitutional in Isaacson v. Horne, illustrates the increasingly […]
“Free speech for me– but not for thee.” That’s the title of a 1993 book by pro-life atheist Nat Hentoff. It’s also the principle at work in “buffer zone” laws, which essentially ban sidewalk counseling outside of abortion facilities. The following video gives an example of the type of speech that is banned in many states, […]
