Press Release -Supreme Court to Hear Operation Rescue Case

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR
OPERATION RESCUE CASE

In a case long awaited by Christians living out their faith at abortion mills, the Supreme Court of the United States of America has agreed to hear Operation Rescue vs. NOW, et al. "We are thankful that the Supreme Court has decided to hear this case..." said Rev Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue. "It has been a long time coming!"

"For years the abortion industry, NOW, Planned Parenthood, and their ilk, have been, hand in glove, using the courts of this land to bully Christians off of the streets," said Rev. Benham. "By their continuous harassment with frivolous civil suits, law suits, court injunctions, RICO statutes, ad nauseam, they have done everything possible to prevent Christians from giving mothers in crisis pregnancy situations a real choice."

"This ubiquitous form of censorship, aimed directly at silencing the Christian message at abortion mills, must be stopped. The Supreme Court of the United States of America is the last vestige of hope that can put a halt the judicial activism that is censoring the Gospel of Christ at abortion mills."

"This case is not about violence outside abortion mills, it is about silencing those who give a voice and a choice to little children who have neither!"

"The abortion industry and NOW know that the battle for the lives of children is being won in the streets of this land. Abortions are at their lowest level since 1976. There are 675 fewer abortion mills today than there were in 1991. The number of doctors performing abortions has dropped 40% since 1991. The number of people in America that believe abortion is murder has risen 13% since 1995. The abortion industry is hemorrhaging and without the help of courts it is finished."

"We pray the Supremes do justice when they hear the case this fall and allow Christians to continue giving mothers a real choice at the very place they need it most --the local abortion mill."
