"It's a Freak Show" at the Supreme Court! Prayer Needed!
Also, an important House hearing on Bioethics Fetal Tissue is in progress!
March 2, 2016
Dear Friends of Life,
Today
is a momentous day for those of us who oppose the evil destruction of
innocent human life through abortion, and we are asking you to pray with
us today for God's favor for two very important events that could have
an impact on abortion in this country.
Right
now, Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, is on the ground in
Washington, D.C. at the Supreme Court amid a throng of about 1,000 angry
pro-aborts waiving crazy signs that show their selfish hatred for the
lives of others. These people oppose abortion safety and desire that
abortion be unrestricted, unregulated, and unaccountable - just like the
days of the so-called back alley!
Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstadt
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today in Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstadt.
This is the most important case heard by the nation's highest court in
25 years! It is a challenge to a 2013 Texas abortion licensing and
safety law known as HB2 that, among other provisions, requires
abortionists to maintain hospital privileges within 30 miles of their
abortion facilities. This requirement has already shut down half of Texas' 42 abortion clinics that operated prior to the passage of the law.
Operation Rescue published a report just yesterday of a medical emergency at a Dallas, Texas abortion facility
that required the patient to be transported by ambulance to a local
emergency room. This incident is a case in point for the need for
abortion safety and for the Court uphold HB2.
A
favorable decision could have a wide-reaching impact on our nation that
could lead to the closure of more abortion facilities, and as Troy
Newman is fond of saying, "When abortion clinics lose, lives are saved."
House Hearing on Bioethics and Fetal Tissue
The
second important event that requires our prayer is the first hearing of
the House Select Panel on Infant Lives that will take place at 10:00
a.m. This hearing and panel investigation was prompted by undercover
videos released by the Center for Medical Progress that revealed Planned
Parenthood's participation in the illegal trafficking of fetal remains
for profit.
We
pray that God will be merciful and cause the SCOTUS case and House
Select Panel investigation to dramatically reduce or even eliminate the
Abortion Cartel's capacity to wage war on the pre-born and their
mothers.
For the voiceless,
Cheryl Sullenger
Senior Vice President
Operation Rescue
