“While the line of questions posed by the conservative members of the Court were encouraging, a lot can happen in the next few months to alter opinions. I do not believe this current administration will tolerate any decision in the case that favors the pro-life side, especially if it undermines Roe.” — Troy Newman, President […]

Published on October 31, 2020 By sirrahc

Tonight’s bonus post is the first of two commentaries from Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute.
