The national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s orders on abortion cases issued today:
“We are pleased that the Seventh Circuit will reconsider its ruling striking down Indiana’s pro-life, pro-woman law, signed by then-Governor Mike Pence, that allows a woman considering abortion to see the growing child within her through ultrasound,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “We are also pleased that the Seventh Circuit will reconsider its ruling striking down Indiana’s law, signed by Gov. Eric Holcomb, allowing parental involvement before a minor girl makes a life-altering decision for her and her child. We are confident that the Seventh Circuit will allow these compassionate, life-saving laws to stand upon further review.”
Dannenfelser continued: “Meanwhile, we are disappointed that the Supreme Court turned away challenges to so-called ‘buffer zones’ outside of abortion businesses, which restrict the free speech of pro-life Americans who seek to provide love and assistance to women considering abortion. The fight to advocate for life on the sidewalks outside of abortion businesses will continue.”
