Many pro-lifers rightly condemned the Supreme Court’s decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, because it struck down Louisiana’s common-sense requirement of hospital admitting privileges for abortionists. But there is reason for hope.
We know that killing babies is wrong and unjust. It does not require a law degree to understand this elementary truth. Yet the justices of the highest court in the land dare not affirm this basic truth. They prefer to betray it and follow the world’s sinful ways.
'The Constitution does not constrain the States’ ability to regulate or even prohibit abortion,' wrote Justice Thomas. 'Moreover, the fact that no five Justices can agree on the proper interpretation of our precedents today evinces that our abortion jurisprudence remains in a state of utter entropy.'
Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion. Chief Justice Roberts concurred, reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law.
