Supreme Court News

The Supreme recently upheld, by a 7-2 decision, an executive order that protected the Little Sisters of the Poor from being forced to pay for abortion-causing drugs under their health insurance plan. Abortion advocates have spent years trying to force Sisters to fund abortions.

Writing for the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas held that “For over 150 years, the Little Sisters have engaged in faithful service and sacrifice, motivated by a religious calling to surrender all for the sake of their brother. . . But for the past seven years, they...have had to fight for the ability to continue in their noble work without violating their sincerely held religious beliefs.”

“We are overjoyed that, once again, the Supreme Court has protected our right to serve the elderly without violating our faith,” said Mother Loraine Marie Maguire of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
