LANDMARK SUPREME COURT DECISION UPHOLDS PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION BAN!
|
On April 18th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a monumental 5-4 decision upholding the 2003 law banning partial-birth abortions. This is the first time since the Roe v. Wade decision was issued that any prohibition of an abortion procedure was upheld.
ADF attorneys, in coordination with our ally the Christian Legal Society, filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case. Since our launch in 1994, ADF has been involved on the frontline fight for life on this and many other issues. |

Coming after years of prayer and perseverance by ADF and our allies, this ruling will literally spare untold thousands of unborn babies from a gruesome death. In the majority ruling, Justice Anthony Kennedy correctly acknowledged: "In a decision so fraught with emotional consequence, some doctors may prefer not to disclose the precise details of the means that will be used.... It is self-evident that a mother who comes to regret her choice to abort must struggle with grief more anguished and sorrow more profound when she learns, only after the event, what she once did not know: that she allowed a doctor to pierce the skull and vacuum the fast-developing brain of her unborn child...."
Joining Justice Kennedy in upholding the partial-birth abortion ban were Chief Justice John Roberts, Associate Justice Samuel Alito, Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, and Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.
Please join us in praising God for this victory -- the 32nd win at the U.S. Supreme Court that ADF has participated in since 1994! Thank you for your prayers and support, which allowed ADF and our allies to stay in the battle and literally win a critical, life-affirming victory.
