[Today’s post is by Robert Christian, a progressive Catholic. It is a response to last week’s “Election Reflection” blog post. It was originally posted at Millennial and is reprinted with permission.] A recent blog post at Secular Pro-Life addresses the question of whether or not the pro-life movement has the wrong allies. It does. The […]
Gonzales v. Carhart is a 2007 Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. Both the pro-life and pro-choice communities reacted strongly to the case, seeing it as a shift in the Court’s perspective on abortion. As the New York Times explained, the decision was “the first in […]
This morning the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold President Obama’s Healthcare law, much to the dismay of pro-life advocates across the country, came as a shock. Setting aside whether or not we are in favor of the Obama administration’s healthcare reform legislation, this healthcare mandate is the largest abortion expansion since Roe v. Wade. President […]
[Today’s post is written by Stacey Trasancos, originally posted on her blog, “Accepting Abundance.” The article is reposted with permission.] Have you ever listened to the Roe vs. Wade arguments? I’ve heard about this conversation before, but it is even more chilling to listen to the words that were actually spoken in our courts 39 […]
In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled in the case of Roe v. Wade. The Court reasoned that a woman has a right to an abortion under the Constitution’s implied right to privacy. The Court’s reasoning has subsequently been derided by people from both the pro-choice and pro-life movements. If you want evidence of how […]
Domestic News: Pro-choice Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the US Senate yesterday by a vote of 63 to 37. While it will not substantially change the left-right dynamic of the court, her views on abortion are considered extreme specifically her views on partial-birth abortion. Students for Life actively […]
Students for Life of America, which for weeks has been gathering signatures in opposition to the confirmation of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, will deliver the petition to Washington today. SFLA sent out this bulletin to supporters: It has been announced that President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, will be […]
Charmaine Yoest, the president of pro-life legal think tank Americans United for Life (AUL), will testify before the Senate tomorrow afternoon. Her written testimony has already been released. The highlights: I am here to express AUL’s opposition to the nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court. Based on our research, […]
The Supreme Court just ruled on Christian Legal Society (CLS) v. Martinez. The issue in the case was whether or not Hastings College of Law could strip the CLS of its recognized status because of its refusal to allow non-Christian and (more controversially) non-heterosexual students into the club. The Court ruled that Hastings’ actions were […]
I’m still technically on hiatus, but a Supreme Court nomination warrants my comments. Kagan is a strong liberal and supports abortion, which comes as no surprise. What’s more surprising is that Obama has chosen a candidate who has never served as a judge, which is likely to be the opposition’s main theme. The Washington Post […]
