Planned Parenthood Reeling After Infanticide Support Exposed
Even pro-choice legislators were disgusted after Planned Parenthood argued last week against a state law that would require abortionists to ensure that a baby who is born alive after a botched abortion receives lifesaving medical care. Florida Representative Mike Clelland, a Democrat, stated, “I've been pro-choice my whole life, and I can't think of a more sensible bill in this regard.” In disbelief, he asked the Planned Parenthood lobbyist, “Does Planned Parenthood have an o...

ACLJ Readies for ObamaCare Battle at Supreme Court
This is a move that we clearly expected. The Supreme Court of the United States today agreed to hear several ObamaCare challenges - putting the issue of the constitutionality of the flawed law front-and-center with a decision by the high court just months before the November 2012 elections. This is the day we have been waiting for. It was clear that ObamaCare would ultimately be decided by the high court when it was signed into law nearly 20 months ago. By taking these cases, the high court can... Continue Reading

ObamaCare Decision Disappointing - Appeal to Come
It's a decision that is disappointing. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected our appeal in an ObamaCare challenge - an appeal which argued that the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, violates the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. In rejecting our appeal, the appeals court failed to reinstate our federal lawsuit. We presented oral arguments before the panel in September and urged the appeals c... Continue Reading

ACLJ & 105 Members of Congress Urge SCOTUS to Reject ObamaCare
We have filed our amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Justices to take up a Florida case challenging ObamaCare. I'm delighted to report that we have 105 members of Congress on our brief - led by Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia, a physician - as well as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. We also represent more than 29,000 Americans who have signed on to our committee opposing ObamaCare. In our amicus brief, we urge the high court to hear the case and declare the entire health care law un... Continue Reading

Another ObamaCare Case Headed to the Supreme Court
Last week I told you that the Obama Administration has decided to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case out of Florida (involving 26 states challenging ObamaCare) and review the decision of a federal appeals court striking the individual mandate of ObamaCare. Now, Virginia has filed its petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court asking it to take its case and overturn the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that the Commonwealth lacked standing to sue against ObamaCare. ...

Botched Abortion Brings Damage Award in Florida
I have never understood the mindset of a physician who performs abortions. And, while we frequently focus on organizations (like Planned Parenthood) and policies (like ObamaCare) that promote and fund abortion, it's the abortion doctor who often stays in the shadows, out of sight, away from publicity. Well, I'd like to shine a little light on a troubling story out of Florida involving an abortion doctor - a story that should be of great interest and concern to all who respect and protect life. ...
