Legislators Find Roe v. Wade Loophole

In what appears to be a loophole in the famous Roe v. Wade decision that paved the way for legal abortions, Congresswoman Sandy Adams has co-sponsored a bill that would legislatively end the nation’s policy of unlimited abortion-on-demand.

Dubbed the Life at Conception Act, 105 members of the U.S. Congress co-sponsored the pro-life legislation.

The bill aims to leverage the fact that the Supreme Court never actually declared abortion itself to be a constitutional right. In its 1973 abortion decision, the Supreme Court invented a policy that effectively stops any regulation of abortion during the full nine months of pregnancy.

11th Circuit Court Rules ObamaCare Unconstitutional

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday declared the individual mandate of ObamaCare, the provision making Americans purchase health insurance, unconstitutional.

The court, in a split decision, found that “the individual mandate contained in the Act exceeds Congress’s enumerated commerce power.”

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) applauds the decision. The ACLJ, which is actively challenging ObamaCare, focuses on constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C.

Americans Urge Appeals Court to Defund Planned Parenthood

In an effort to prevent states’ rights from being curtailed by partisan interests, members of Congress and thousands of Americans are speaking out on Planned Parenthood funding.

The American Center for Law and Justice is urging a federal appeals court—on behalf of 41 members of Congress and more than 25,000 Americans—to uphold an Indiana law prohibiting federal funding of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

“Planned Parenthood receives more than $350 million a year in taxpayer funds. Indiana’s decision to no longer use federal money to fund the nation’s largest abortion provider is not only a constitutionally sound decision, but one we hope is implemented in other states across the country,” says Jay Sekulow, ACLJ chief counsel. “Indiana and other states have the constitutional authority to determine how they spend federal funds.”
