Friday, June 24, 2022, will long be remembered as the historic day when the US Supreme Court ended a 50-year reign of terror on unborn children.
Nationally and in our state, we are turning a page on the abortion issue. All you have to do is read the last few lines on the first page of the two-hundred-plus page opinion to know the essence of what the court decided: “Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”1
Those are twenty-eight powerful, long-awaited words—and we praise God for His goodness and grace to us in giving us this decision. But let’s be clear. God didn’t owe us this right opinion. It’s not as if nation- ally we’ve experienced a revival and are at a point where we can say that righteousness is exalting us. We should acknowledge the goodness of God in this moment—and we also need to be good stewards of what we have been given.
We are often asked why WFC believes gambling is not “family friendly.” This comes most often from people who believe gambling is largely just innocent, victimless entertainment. Gambling is an issue for us because of its negative impact on marriages and families.
A right to abortion in our state constitution? Really? Since when, and if so, then where? Those are questions people all across Wisconsin should be asking given the lawsuits that have been filed with our state Supreme Court. Last month through an unprecedented leak, we learned that the high court will hear one of these cases.
Untold millions of US coins and every piece of paper money bears the motto, “In God We Trust.” Did the founders of this great country really trust in God? We don’t have to look much beyond the words of the Declaration of Independence for an answer.
Our mission is to advance Judeo-Christian principles and values in Wisconsin by strengthening, preserving, and promoting marriage, family, life and liberty.
