Justices Alito and Thomas dissented from the decision that granted the emergency request from President Biden’s administration and the New York drug maker.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for the judges in the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals as they hear the case regarding the abortion drug.
- For the hearts and minds of the American people to be awakened to the sanctity and value of unborn life.
