Supreme Court

Criticizing the Supreme Court's abortion decision as driven by politics, President Biden on Friday signed an executive order that establishes an abortion task force and protects the right to travel out of state to get an abortion.

The same Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade also acknowledged the history of the eugenics movement that used abortion to target minority communities.

Abortion treats pregnancy as a disease. Instead of accommodating women’s natural capacity for childbearing and, often, natural desire for childrearing, a culture that permits abortion encourages women to behave like career-focused men. Just as infuriating, abortion “allows men to view women as always sexually available without any marital commitment or promise of stability.” Therefore, abortion on demand has distorted relations between the sexes. It convinces men that an unexpected pregnancy is not only a problem but specifically a woman’s problem. 

The Supreme Court security chief is asking Maryland and Virginia officials to enforce federal and state picketing laws and stop protests that are taking place outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices.

On Thursday, Kentanji Brown Jackson was sworn in as an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court, becoming the first black woman in history to be appointed to the position.

George Washington University insisted Tuesday that they will continue to employ Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as an adjunct professor. The letter came in response to a petition for the university to fire Thomas over “the recent Supreme Court decision that has stripped the right to bodily autonomy of people with wombs.”

When religion is seen as non-essential, religious freedom is limited to “religious” activities like private prayer, church attendance, and personal piety. At the same time, “secular” is wrongfully thought of as “neutral” or “unbiased.” Faith is reduced to a hobby, and a highly idiosyncratic one at that. Spiritually inspired convictions must be kept safely within church, synagogue, and mosque walls, and out of the government and schools. This, however, is not religious liberty. 

Leaders across the ideological spectrum in Chicago are criticizing Mayor Lori Lightfoot for her use of the f-word in reference to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and for her repeated defense of the incident.

In a landmark ruling for religious liberty, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday officially overturned a 51-year-old legal precedent known as the “Lemon Test” while siding with a football coach who had been fired for praying.

Now that this historic day has come, I wanted to respond immediately by updating and sharing that information and then offering three biblical reflections. Later, we will discuss the ruling in greater depth as we focus on the road forward for the cause of life.
