Supreme Court Pro-Life Decision

                                                                                                                                                                                  Vol. IV, No. 5, July 1991

The national government can prohibit tax funds from use in abortion counselling, referral, and promotion, the US Supreme Court ruled on 23 May. The 5-4 decision supports regulations preventing Planned Parenthood and other clinics from using funds under Title X of the Public Health Service Act in "programs where abortion is a method of family planning." Abortion supporters immediately called for a legislative reversal of the court's decision. [BPI

Comment: Pro-lifers should write your representative and both senators a brief, polite note asking that they vote to uphold the Supreme Court decision.
