Science at the Supreme Court

CLI's Dr. Sander Lee and Dr. Prentice React to Dobbs Oral Arguments

Pro-abortionists look to courts to overturn pro-life law in Pennsylvania

By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director

The abortion industry and its political allies want to make Pennsylvania another New York, with abortion legal up to the moment of birth.

This week, pro-abortion Governor Tom Wolf and pro-abortion state Attorney General (and Gubernatorial candidate) Josh Shapiro held a news conference where they claimed they would stop any pro-life legislation from advancing in the Keystone State. CONTINUE READING

Should women have to rely on abortion to succeed?

Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director

On December 1, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health regarding Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. One argument put forth by the pro-abortion side was reliance. In other words, the so-called right to abortion must be preserved because women have come to rely on it.

In her opening statement, Department of Justice Solicitor General Elizabeth Prologar said, “The Court has never revoked a right that is so fundamental to so many Americans and so central to their ability to participate fully and equally in society.”

Can Prologar hear herself? Can she hear how profoundly anti-woman this argument is? CONTINUE READING

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
