Supreme Court: Mob Laws Can't Be Used Against Abortion Protesters
Topics: Life IssuesAS many readers will already be aware of by now, the Supreme Court has ruled a second time that federal racketeering laws used against mob bosses can't be used against pro-life advocates who protest abortions. The court upheld its previous ruling that state laws are sufficient to prosecute any minor violations such as trespassing.
As to what this means and what implications we might draw from the decision, several newspapers recently published editorials on the U.S. Supreme Court's announcement that it will hear arguments in the Department of Justice's appeal to reinstate a federal law banning so-called "partial-birth" abortion. Although not directly related, readers will nevertheless find the commentaries to be interesting.
