FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 24th, 2022
Christian Alliance of America Statement on the Overturning of Roe v Wade with the SCOTUS Dobbs Decision.
Today, Christian Alliance of America celebrates the SCOTUS decision on Dobbs that has effectively struck down the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. Today, forty-nine years of abortion on demand in all fifty states has effectively come to an end. With the Dobbs decision, the Court has sent abortion policy back to the states. Many states are now poised to enact legislation that will end abortion and save the lives of the unborn.
CAA President Chris Long made the following statement, “We celebrate today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The pro-life movement, after a long struggle, has finally prevailed with a favorable decision that defends life in the womb. The Court, in its 6-3 decision, led by Justice Samuel Alito who wrote the majority opinion, has finally heard the cries and prayers of many who have long-awaited this day. The justices held their ground and were not swayed by threats and intimidation from the opposition by the unlawful activity of those who sought to intimidate them in their neighborhoods and at their residences. Mob rule will not prevail when good men and women stand up and make conscious decisions for justice.
“Today is a day to celebrate the pro-life cause. But, as Winston Churchill said after the Battle of Britain, ‘This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But this may be the end of the beginning.’ The pro-life movement now has much work to do here in Ohio and in states across the country. Crisis pregnancy centers will be in greater demand. The church and Christian ministries must step up to the plate to meet the new challenge and welcome the life that just days ago would have been sentenced to death through the act of abortion.”
