Absurd State Arguments in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin

It was painful to listen to Sundeep Iyer, Chief Counsel to the Attorney General of New Jersey, at oral arguments in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin, trying to defend the state of New Jersey’s actions in this case. The New Jersey attorney general (AG) selectively targeted the nonprofit because of their Christian, pro-life […]

Hard Day for the Censors at the Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar Orals

Even though up to 90 percent of children who struggle with gender dysphoria at an early age will eventually work out their issues through puberty so that they align their identity to their sex, Colorado wants to prohibit licensed counselors from helping children to do just that. The state wants to force counselors to just […]

Big Win for Parental Rights at the Supreme Court

Parents everywhere, regardless of political ideology, should rejoice today as the Supreme Court, once again, affirmed (6-3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor) the long-recognized constitutional principle that “parents have a right ‘to direct the religious upbringing of their children’ and that this right can be infringed by laws that pose ‘a very real threat of undermining’ […]

Planned Parenthood Loses at the Supreme Court

Any time any law seeks to put any limits on abortion, Planned Parenthood is guaranteed to sue. It is something with which legislators have to deal. No matter how reasonable the law is, the nation’s largest abortion provider’s existential dependence on public funding for their promotion of abortion makes them rabid in their attack on […]

Supreme Court Upholds the Law and State’s Efforts to Protect Children

Big win at the United States Supreme Court today in United States v. Skrmetti where the Justices decided (6-3) in favor of a Tennessee law (SB 1) that, as an increasing number of states have done, restricts sex transitioning treatments for minors. The law was being challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which […]

Unanimous Supreme Court Upholds Religious Liberty for Schools

The United States Supreme Court held today (9-0) that the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s application of a state law that exempts certain religious organizations from paying unemployment compensation taxes but denied Catholic Charities as not religious enough violates the First Amendment. The state Supreme Court had said that the schools were not “‘operated primarily for religious […]

Embarrassing Anti-Religious Argument at the U.S. Supreme Court

A Review of Oral Arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor In Montgomery County, Maryland, a radical school board devised an English curriculum with the specific purpose of indoctrinating children as young as three-years-old with storybooks that promoted LGBTQ inclusivity. The worst part was that the school board was intent on preventing any parents, regardless of specific […]

Five Cases to Watch at the U.S. Supreme Court

Here is a list of the most important cases we are watching at the Supreme Court: 1. Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission Oral arguments: March 31 What’s it about? – Wisconsin argues the Catholic Charities Bureau is not sufficiently religious to get tax-exempt status, even though it is controlled by […]

It Was Reality Against Fantasy at the Skrmetti Orals at the Supreme Court

Laws must be rooted in reality. However, when it comes to the Left’s approach to law, emotion and fantasy rule the day in certain contexts. Oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti at the nation’s highest court illustrated this perfectly. The case involves a 2023 Tennessee law (Senate Bill 1, passed with bipartisan support) that […]

CWA Stand for Life in Iowa Supreme Court

Concerned Women for America (CWA) submitted an amicus (friend-of-the-court) brief in support of the state of Iowa’s efforts to establish a culture of life and curtail abortion radicalism in the Hawkeye State. The brief challenges Planned Parenthood and other abortion doctors’ ability to bring legal challenges to the state’s pro-life laws. Here is our summary of […]

Supreme Court Win: Government Cannot Force Speech

The United States Supreme Court’s 2022-23 term ended with all the excitement of a well-orchestrated symphony. The protection and expansion of freedom has a resounding, liberating tone that can move the heart and soul of all it touches. Concerned Women for America activists heard it today as we stood in the steps of the Court […]

No Freedom Without Prayer

We are a nation born of the radical idea that “all men are created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” That is why liberty and freedom flourished in our nation against all odds. That fundamental appeal to the authority of our Creator, above and beyond earthly governments, levels the playing field […]

Super-Duper Supreme Court Term

SCOTUS

Remember when some tried to sell Roe as “super-duper” precedent? Well, it didn’t work. Roe is gone (all praise be to God!), but we have been indeed left with something “super-duper”—this Supreme Court term. It was just superb.   It all starts with Dobbs, of course (and that would be more than enough to celebrate), […]

Boston Violates First Amendment by Targeting Christian Flag

All nine justices of the United States Supreme Court agree in Shurtleff v. City of Boston. The city violated the First Amendment rights of Harold Shurtleff, the director of Camp Constitution, by refusing to allow him to fly the Christian Flag at a public pole where the city allowed private groups to fly their flags […]

Sensible Supreme Court Opinion Halts Vaccine Mandate

In a “per curiam” opinion, meaning a decision authored by the entire Court, instead of a single justice, the United States Supreme Court granted a stay of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vaccine mandate for employers with 100 or more workers. The rule, therefore, will not go into effect until the case goes […]

Three Takeaways from Today’s Dobbs Oral Arguments

Today, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the most important pro-life case of our lifetime: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. As hundreds of pro-life supporters rallied outside the courtroom (outnumbering the other side by a considerable margin!), inside the Justices heard arguments from the state of Mississippi, the Jackson abortion clinic, and the […]

Indefensible Roe – The Legal Track

As that great bulwark of honesty Buddy the elf would say, Roe “sit[s] on a throne of lies.” This series will expose many of them in the spiritual, scientific, cultural, moral, and policy realm. But we start this endeavor with the most pressing deception as far as it concerns the U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming considerations […]

Indefensible Roe — An Introduction

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Mississippi case where abortionists are challenging the state’s “Gestational Age Act,” should force the United States Supreme Court to reevaluate its disastrous abortion jurisprudence. Because Mississippi’s law places strict limits on abortion after 15 weeks, it runs straight up against the Court’s nonsensical and arbitrary “viability” pronouncement which has somewhat […]

On the Maine Vaccine Mandate Case Before the U.S. Supreme Court

In a recent emergency application before the United States Supreme Court, the justices declined an appeal from Maine health care workers to stop the enforcement of a vaccine mandate that did not contain a religious exemption. Though certainly disappointing, those concerned with these oppressive vaccine mandates should not read much into the denial, and indeed […]
