By Dave Andrusko Over the decades since Justice Harry Blackmun unleashed the Roe v. Wade pestilence, periodically you will read stories, occasionally the bulk of entire books, which maintain that Blackmun was essentially a dolt whom other justices had to help reach his abortion-on-demand conclusion. One of the earlier “inside the court” books was, “The …

By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director, Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation Editor’s note. This is excerpted from a post that appeared on the blog of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.

By Dave Andrusko It had long been rumored, but now it became official. One year ago today, following the end of the term, Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the Supreme Court , effective July 31, 2018. Of course we knew what was coming next.

Editor’s note. The following is a Facebook post from Prof. Robert George. The headline is mine.

The …

By Dave Andrusko We posted two stories yesterday explaining just a portion of the Supreme Court’s Box v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky decision in which the Justices voted to uphold one part of a 2016 Indiana abortion law while laying over for another day the second part.

Justice Thomas offers powerful criticism of eugenic abortions By Dave Andrusko Pro and anti-life groups had waited for months for the Supreme Court to address two provisions of a 2016 Indiana abortion law. This morning the Justices punted on a law that banned abortions (in Justice Clarence Thomas’s words) “when the provider knows that the …

By Dave Andrusko Editor’s note. This ran December 20, 2018, and offers background to today’s Supreme Court order. The headline to a story that appeared on the Facebook page of an Indiana television station is (to pro-lifers) both unsurprising and amusing: “State Leaders Not Giving Up On Reinstating Blocked Abortion Law: Attorney general’s office asks …

By Dave Andrusko For four decades National Right to Life has been at the eye of the abortion hurricane, acting as the calm, disciplined center of pro-life politics, education, and legislation.
