The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a California law requiring clinics that counsel women against abortion to notify clients of the availability of abortions paid for by the state, ruling it violated the free speech rights of these Christian-based facilities.
The Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, and while the broader issue of abortion rights was not at issue in the case, the 5-4 ruling represented a significant victory for abortion opponents who operate these kinds of clinics – called crisis pregnancy centers – around the country.
The court’s five conservative justices were in the majority in the ruling authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, with the four liberals dissenting.
Crisis pregnancy centers have said they offer legitimate health services but that it is their mission to steer women with unplanned pregnancies away from abortion….
Note…
A pattern IS developing from the nation’s highest courts majority….
Religious concerns will now OVERRULE everything else from their point of view…
A country that is supposed to have a separation of church and state isn’t gonna be that as far as the court’s guys are concerned….
The fight to outlaw abortion again is this country just got a win…

Eagerly awaiting the Janus decision…
