(The Christian Post<\/a>) On June 29, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling<\/a> on the case of June Medical Services v. Russo<\/em>, a high-profile case in which the abortion industry challenged Louisiana\u2019s law requiring abortionists to acquire hospital admitting privileges before carrying out abortions. A plurality of four pro-abortion justices reaffirmed the Court\u2019s previous holding in Whole Women\u2019s Health v. Hellerstedt<\/em> that such health and safety regulations pose an \u201cundue burden\u201d on women seeking abortion. Chief Justice John Roberts, who dissented in Hellerstedt<\/em> just four years ago, joined these pro-abortion justices. Roberts argues that Hellerstedt<\/em> is now protected by the legal doctrine of stare decisis<\/em>, which, he writes, \u201crequires us, absent special circumstances, to treat like cases alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, as Justice Thomas acknowledged in his dissent, \u201cOur abortion precedents are grievously wrong and should be overruled.\u201d Likewise, had the stare decisis<\/em> standard upheld precedent in Brown v. Board of Education<\/em>, the precedent of segregation between Black and white Americans would have been upheld.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth pausing to consider the absurdity of what was debated in this case; that is, whether a state can require abortionists who kill children for a living to have safeguards in place in the event that they injure a woman in the process of killing her child. The fact that these men and women, trained as healers, spend their days decapitating, poisoning, suctioning, and dismembering children does not even factor into the conversation. Deeply disconnected from basic morality and relying on judicial activism to uphold their license to kill, the abortion industry cannot win the war over abortion.<\/p>\n
