TITUSVILLE, FL -- Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone today commented on Wednesday’s ruling from the South Carolina Supreme Court upholding the state’s Heartbeat law.
“Supreme Court victories on the state level are the unfolding victory of the Dobbs decision of 2022. In overturning Roe v. Wade, Dobbs changed the standard against which pro-life laws are judged going forward. Now, the default position for the courts - on the federal, state and local levels - is to give deference to the people and their elected representatives. If they want to protect the unborn, Dobbs said the courts should get out of the way.
“Abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood have to ask themselves why they keep bringing these lawsuits,” Pavone continued. “Dobbs should penetrate their understanding, too. It’s silly that they keep challenging pro-life laws in courts because the courts that understand Dobbs are going to keep ruling the same way, which is good for the unborn.”
