** ROE V. WADE WAS A LOUSY DECISION. THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OVERTURN IT.
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC President Ryan T. Anderson (with Robert P. George)
USA Today
------------------------------------------------------------
In what will prove to be the most watched – and most important – Supreme Court case in nearly half a century, the court will have an opportunity to correct a grievous error, one that has not only lent legal, indeed constitutional, cover to the elective killing of unborn children literally by the millions, but has also deeply corrupted American constitutional jurisprudence.

BECERRA AND BIDEN BETRAY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS BEING FORCED TO ASSIST IN ABORTIONS ([link removed])
By EPPC Senior Fellow Roger Severino
National Review Online
In a piece for National Review Online ([link removed]) , EPPC Senior Fellow Roger Severino sharply criticizes a decision by the Department of Justice to drop its lawsuit against the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) in a case involving a nurse who alleged that she was forced, over her religious and moral objections, to participate in an abortion procedure: "The facts were stunning in their clarity, the victim was extremely credible and sympathetic, and the violator remained entirely callous and unrepentant. The UVMMC matter was the most open and shut conscience case in over a decade."
