Supreme Court Abortion Case Holds Signs of Hope for Pro-Life
Evangelicals
The conservative-majority Supreme Court appeared willing to side
with Mississippi’s abortion ban, which restricts beyond what
“Roe v. Wade” allows.
After a long-awaited challenge to Roe v. Wade made it to the US
Supreme Court on Wednesday, pro-life evangelicals who had
rallied for the cause for decades were encouraged that the
conservative-leaning court appeared willing to uphold a
contentious Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks.
The justices’ decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health
Organization, due in late June, could overturn the country’s
landmark abortion rights cases, making way for more restrictive
state laws protecting the personhood of fetuses in the womb.
White evangelicals—who are twice as likely than the average
American to want to make abortion illegal—gathered outside the
high court in Washington and, across the country, listened to
the oral arguments, streamed online due to the pandemic.
But the two-hour discussion—the greatest threat to abortion
policy in 50 years of prayer and advocacy—largely skipped over
familiar evangelical talking points to focus on the legal
precedents for the case.
“The discussion was purely legal—purely legal in a way that
might have surprised some,” said Notre Dame law professor Sherif
Girgis in a discussion convened by the Ethics and Public Policy
Center (EPPC). “It was really just focused on: Is there a
doctrinal path to a middle ground?”
The middle ground Gergis references is whether the court can
somehow uphold the Mississippi law banning abortion at 15 weeks
of pregnancy without overturning Roe v. Wade. The 1973 decision
doesn’t allow states to ban abortion prior to the point the baby
is viable outside the womb, around 24 weeks.
The EPPC’s Ed Whelan said Chief Justice John Roberts appeared to
be seeking a middle-ground argument, while the other five
conservative justices—including President Donald Trump
appointees Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney
Barrett—signaled that they may be ready to overturn Roe and
fellow landmark abortion case Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
Roberts, though, couldn’t settle on what legal marker the court
could adopt to move restrictions earlier than the viability
standard, which legal counsel for the providers argued balanced
protections for the mother and baby.
Russell Moore, who leads CT’s public theology project, wrote
that, “The Court was wrong to grant human rights on the basis of
viability or unviability. And we are wrong when we do the same,
despising weakness and idolizing power.”
Justice Kavanaugh brought up that the Constitution is “silent”
and “neutral” on abortion. He seemed to suggest that national
abortion regulations shouldn’t be up to the Supreme Court.
“Why should this Court be the arbiter rather than Congress, the
state legislatures, state supreme courts, the people being able
to resolve this?” he asked.
Pro-life advocates and legal experts say they were heartened by
what they heard in the oral arguments . Roger Severino, the
former director of the Health and Human Services Office for
Civil Rights under Trump, said the pro-life movement should
“rejoice” at the outcome.
Evangelicals were not directly mentioned in the arguments in the
chamber, but Justice Sonya Sotomayor evoked evangelical
convictions as she referenced the role of faith in beliefs
around when life begins.
“How is your interest anything but a religious view?” she asked
Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart, who argued on
behalf the state’s ban.
“The issue of when life begins has been hotly debated by
philosophers since the beginning of time. It’s still debated in
religions,” she said. “So when you say [the right to abortion]
is the only right that takes away from the state the ability to
protect a life—that’s a religious view, isn’t it? Because it
assumes that a fetus is life?”
Evangelical Protestants make up 41 percent of the population in
Mississippi (compared to a quarter of the US overall), and the
state has one of the highest levels of abortion opposition in
the country, with 59 percent saying abortion should be legal in
all or most cases.
US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who sided with the
clinics, argued that women depend on abortion as a “fundamental
right” that’s “central to their participate fully and equally in
society.”
“For a half century, this Court has correctly recognized that
the Constitution protects a woman's fundamental right to decide
whether to end a pregnancy before viability,” she said.
The momentum around reversing Roe v. Wade has also drawn more
attention to the evolving future of the evangelical pro-life
cause, particularly the support and care of a swath of new
mothers would require if unable to obtain abortions.
Nathan A. Finn, dean and provost at North Greenville University,
wrote for the Baptist Press:
The overturning of Roe must energize local pro-life activism
rather than leading to grassroots complacency because of the
national legal victory. In a post-Roe world, some women will
still want an abortion or believe abortion is their only option.
There will still be the need for pro-life pregnancy resource
centers in local communities.
In states where elective abortion remains legal, those centers
will continue to go head-to-head with abortion clinics. There
will also still be young children in need of adoption, perhaps
in some places more than there are at present. The church must
remain committed to the ministry of orphan care, ready to care
for little ones who need a loving home.

WAIT... Who Just OUTLAWED ABORTION ? | Louder with Crowder
Oklahoma passed what some are calling the most extreme abortion
ban in America, and we couldn't be happier. Also, Joe Biden is
still pushing for student loan forgiveness. And Matt Gaetz
smacks down Biden's Defense Secretary. #Abortion #Oklahoma

Roe v Wade, Whoopi and Bad Pro Choice Arguments
A Supreme Court document has been leaked which shows a decision
to strike down Roe v Wade. This is causing a meltdown from
advocates of abortion. We're going to take a look at some of the
arguments being made in support for abortion and bring them
captive to the obedience of Christ.

Roe v Wade: You Need To Know This Now
The US Supreme Court last week ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade.
But what do Americans really think about abortion, and has it
always been such a partisan issue or is it just another example
of politicians using a complex situation for their own gain?
