BREAKING: SCOTUS docs leaked

Late last night, Politico reported that they had obtained the leaked opinion – not a final ruling – from Justice Alito in the Dobbs case, indicating that Roe v. Wade and Casey would be overturned and the right to make laws on abortion sent back to the states.

While we are jubilated by the hope that Roe and its deadly consequences may be rightfully overturned soon, what is shocking is that this leak is unprecedented. In the 1970s, there were a handful of early “scoops” on rulings, but for such a consequential case, this leak is troubling.

We know that Roe v. Wade was erroneously decided; the original ruling invented the “right” to abortion out of thin air. We know that from a constitutional perspective, Roe stands no legitimate chance, and we do expect SCOTUS to rule in favor of life once the final ruling is actually released.

We praise God that the pro-life movement continues to secure major victories throughout the nation. We pray for wisdom, however, to navigate what seems to be a nefarious plot to try and change the natural course of law in the US. We expect for the radical left to attempt to force the federal codification of Roe before it may be overturned.

What we do know: God is, always has been, and always will be in control.

Thank you for standing with the Indiana Family Institute in prayer and action.

God’s will be done.

Pro-life coalition letter we just signed

Last week, I along with 31 other family policy organization leaders signed a coalition letter to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and House leadership in an effort to urge Congress to make a commitment to protect the lives of the unborn ahead of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Dobbs case. With midterms happening this fall, it is vitally important that our lawmakers implement strong pro-life strategies.

The letter, in part, reads:

“We, the undersigned, represent hundreds of thousands of Americans across the states who care deeply about the issues of life, family, and religious freedom. Although each of these issues is vitally important, the prospect of seeing Roe v. Wade undermined or overturned and the momentum currently behind the pro-life movement is unlike any we have seen before. Therefore, as Republican leadership readies its conservative agenda for the next year, we urge you to ensure that any commitment to America includes a bold, clear, and articulate plan to protect the most vulnerable among us, the unborn.

For its part, the Biden administration has taken clear actions to promote abortion and undermine pro-life successes in the states. It has gone after unrelated federal funding streams in pro-life states and allowed chemical abortion pills to be shipped through the mail without any health and safety protocols. Such extremist behavior from pro-abortion politicians will only increase as the pro-life movement continues to gain momentum.

Even if the Supreme Court overturns Roe this year, a strong congressional plan to protect unborn life will be needed. Current public polling trends and the recent state-level legislative successes indicate that congressional leaders would be wise to lean into the pro-life issue, not shy away from it…We stand ready to support you in these efforts.”

We are ready to see the end of abortion in America. Pro-life policies are winning across the nation and advocates are fighting tirelessly to protect the lives of the unborn. Everyone deserves a chance at life and IFI is proud to be on the frontlines advocating for these precious human rights.

Our goal is to make Indiana the safest place for unborn babies, and we will continue to stand up for what is right and proclaim truth.
