The following quote regarding Thursday’s Supreme Court decision may be attributed to National Institute of Family and Life Advocates President Thomas Glessner:

“NIFLA applauds the 9-0 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Fulton v. Philadelphia. Such a decision protects the freedom of faith-based agencies to act in accordance with their foundational religious beliefs. In issuing this decision, the court cited the landmark case of NIFLA v. Becerra, which prohibits the government from forcing those with deeply-held religious beliefs to speak a message with which they fundamentally disagree. Today is a day of celebration for all Americans who cherish fundamental freedoms of religion and speech.
