Last week we celebrated ESCAPE from 50 years of U.S. Supreme Court TYRANNY protecting the killing of children in the womb as a constitutional “right.” In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Court held that abortion is not a protected liberty under the Constitution …

The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health this morning to decide the fate of Mississippi’s 15 week abortion ban.  At issue is 1) whether states can prohibit abortion prior to the age of viability, which is when it is believed that a child can survive outside the womb (the “viability standard”) and 2) …

On July 22, the State of Mississippi took a bold and long overdue step. In a brief defending its 15-week abortion ban against a pro-abortion challenge, the state told the United States Supreme Court that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned. Rather than trying to argue that its law is compatible with the Court’s absurd and tragic ruling in Roe, which the …

In an abrupt about-face, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated its own appalling ruling in New York vs. Griepp and has agreed to rehear the case. The now-vacated ruling could have been used to criminalize sidewalk counseling throughout the United States.   Life Legal filed an amicus brief on behalf of sidewalk counselors and advocates, including 40 …

Life Legal filed a friend-of-the-court brief last week urging the Supreme Court to overturn its deadly rulings in Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). The brief was filed in a case challenging an Arkansas statute prohibiting doctors from performing abortions if they know the abortion request is motivated solely by a pre-natal diagnosis of Down syndrome.  In 2019, Arkansas passed the “Down Syndrome Discrimination by Abortion Prohibition Act,” to prevent the eradication of persons …

Life Legal filed an amicus brief today in NY v. Griepp, a sidewalk counseling case currently in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.   We are asking the Court to reconsider the case after it issued an appalling ruling last month.  In 2018, the NY Office of the Attorney General (OAG) sought a preliminary injunction to keep a group of sidewalk counselors from praying for and talking to women outside “Choices …
