An Under the Radar SCOTUS Ruling Could Be a Bellwether on Roe and School Choice – Opinion

Although all eyes will be on the Supreme Court of the United States, hearing arguments against the Texas Heartbeat Law, the court already has ruled. Roman Catholic Diocese, et al. v. Emami. The justices vacated the lower court decision which upheld New York state’s mandate that faith-based and religious employers had to fund abortion procedures as part of their health insurance plans.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled that New York cannot force Christians to pay for abortions through their plans. This ruling is being made at the same time that oral arguments are held by SCOTUS in two cases involving pro-abortion lawyers seeking to stop the Texas ban on abortion.

In its ruling today, the Supreme Court just ordered New York courts to reconsider Emami v. Diocese of Albany a case challenging New York’s coercive abortion mandate that requires employers to cover abortions in their health insurance plans—even if the employers are religious groups.

Soon after Obamacare was signed, this mandate was put in place. The “don’t talk about religion and politics” cult of the perpetually clueless needs to understand that if we the people do not keep fighting against government instituted so-called social justice and social welfare programs, we will be fighting the fallout for decades. The case is and Fulton v. PhiladelphiaThis is evident in the preceding case, which ruled in favor of Catholic Church over a state mandate. Beckett Law & Jones Day have helped the Diocese of Albany, along with other similar ministries and organisations fight for over ten years to correct a flawed law which should not have been granted life.

We are still here.

Here is the preliminary report:

ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE, ET AL. V. EMAMI, SHIRIN, ET AL. A petition is filed for certiorari. The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded at the Appellate Divison, Supreme Court of New York Third Judicial Department to be considered in the light of Fulton v. Philadelphia (593 U. S. ___ 2021). Justice Thomas, Justice Alito and Justice Gorsuch will grant the petition for certiorari.

LifeSite also reported the following:

The position puts Christian charities in an “intolerable position”; the state is forcing them to choose between paying for the killing of unborn babies in abortions or giving up their ministries that help people in need, lawyers for the Christian groups argued. Funding the killing of unborn babies in abortions for these and other reasons is “a grave moral evil,” and Christian employers should not be forced to pay for them, they continued.

The churches and charities stated they could not provide relief without the assistance of government.

It is a sad reminder of how corrupt we are as a country. To uphold its bloodlust for abortions and death, the government makes laws to discredit organizations that are good or offer assistance to people less fortunate. The SCOTUS decision on Emami v. Diocese of Albany This is yet another precedent brick for pro-life, especially as SCOTUS today hears arguments against Texas Heartbeat law.

The precedent is set for the erosion of Roe V. Wade. The scientific and technological advancements that help preserve life and the creation of laws by states to promote the protection and preservation of life are just two examples. RoeWith each ruling and law that is passed, our ability to accept life and death becomes less. The Left has been fighting hard to repeal Texas Heartbeat and is enraged by the Mississippi case. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health OrganizationOn the SCOTUS docket December 1. Positive ruling on the Texas law DobbsIt will be lost RoeYou can go even further.

This decision also establishes precedents for the defense and restoration of individual freedoms. Leftists love to call for the cancellation or boycotting of individuals and businesses that support families, life or right-ofcenter causes, and political action. Conservatives and other right-leaning people can decide to help these organizations and companies by giving their money and support them. This is evident by the support Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby have rallied for them. But we must have the ability to support such companies as well as to divest our money from those who seek to endanger life, liberty, or personal freedoms.

My dollars, My choice

It is all part of the same struggle that is taking place in Loudoun County (VA), Manhattan Beach, CA and other schools across the country. While many concerns currently animate these “domestic terrorist” parents, there are three that are primary: individual liberty, parental input in their child’s education, and the autonomy and freedom to uphold and instill their values, not the values of the state. Your and mine tax dollars should not be used to support an anti-American educational system, which seeks to undermine the parental authority and the values that parents want to instill in their children.

The micro version of this is to stop funding school district funding. But the macro model will require that the public uses their power to divert tax dollars from failing schools and instead invest them in educational programs, schools and alternative learning options that foster parental choice, practical and values-based learning.

This is what will determine the outcome of the abortion and school choice battles. These issues will be the core of our century.
