Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “SCOTUS Case Could Mold Public Opinion in Favor of Protecting Life”

“The law is a teacher that instructs public attitudes. Roe opened the door for the acceptance of abortion on demand. Likewise, its demise will mold public opinion in favor of protecting life. When this happens, the observation and wisdom of founding father Thomas Paine will be affirmed.  It is a tragedy that it has taken America nearly fifty years and the deaths of 63 million children to acknowledge that protecting innocent human lives is a foundational value […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Democrat Attempts to Pack the Court Threaten Constitutional Checks and Balances”

“The current clamor to pack the Supreme Court to achieve a far-left progressive agenda will become even more hysterical if, as expected by some, the court upholds the constitutionality of the Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. Such a result will mean the demise of Roe v. Wade and will bring out the left in full force to demand that the makeup of the court be changed. Be prepared for the current intense political atmosphere […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “SCOTUS Should Reverse Roe v. Wade Because Abortion Is a Crime Against Humanity”

“A brief authored by attorney Allan Parker of the Justice Foundation on behalf of the National Institute of Family of Life Advocates, or NIFLA, urges the reversal of Roe. The first of five specific arguments set forth in the brief states that abortion is a crime against humanity. Since Roe allows for a continuation of this manslaughter, it must be overturned.

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “Supreme Court’s Texas Abortion Decision Could Spell Doom for Roe v. Wade”

“Last week, the Supreme Court refused to impose an injunction on a Texas law that prohibits abortion after six weeks into a pregnancy. The court’s decision was based on legal issues of standing and not the constitutionality of the law. This decision indicates that SCOTUS may overturn Roe. SCOTUS will likely hear arguments in October surrounding Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center. This case concerns a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Roe prohibited […]

Thomas Glessner in Townhall: “The Supreme Court Should Follow the Science That Proves Human Life Begins At Conception”

“In Roe, the high court punted on the issue of when human life begins by saying: ‘We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.’ This dodge of the central issue relating to abortion was not […]
