In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court, after weeks of controversy from leaked documents, has finally decided to overturn Roe vs. Wade, removing the constitutional right to abortion that’s been standing since 1973.
With the decision, Justice Samuel Alito noted, “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely – the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment.”
With that, CompassCare’s pro-life agencies score a huge victory in preserving the life of unborn babies. However, challenges lie ahead for those angered by the decision, with the possibility of more violence towards the company’s pro-life centers, as they’ve seen in the previous weeks. CompassCare’s facility in Buffalo New York was firebombed a few weeks ago.
Joining us now to discuss this decision is Rev. James Harden, M. Div., who serves as the CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services. He also pioneered the first measurable and repeatable medical model in the pregnancy center movement.
