The Abortion Decision

Article Image Alt Text

Few court cases have been as controversial in the United States as 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. It has become one of the major touchstones in American politics ever since. As controversial as it is, the fact that a shift in power on the Supreme Court has overturned Row v. Wade has led to a great deal of political and legal turmoil. A lot of the frustration concerns how a modern court can just overturn a previous court’s decision simply because of a shift in ideology. However, historically speaking, this is not new. There have been reversals in the Supreme Court before that were just as controversial and saw as much an attack against the high court as the recent Roe reversal.

Our family had a wonderful Independence Day weekend, and we hope you did as well. What a special time to reflect on our many freedoms and rights, and the brave men and women who made them possible and continue to protect them for us.

Sermonette

Most remember the story of Adam and Eve. They sinned, they ate of the fruit God commanded them not to eat, and they lost their paradise, and they lost their relationship with God. They were removed from the garden and as part of their punishment they were faced with death.
