On the United States Supreme Court Decision

Regarding the United States Supreme Court Opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Case which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade and the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decisions which decriminalized abortion in all 50 states the John Paul Academy for Human Life and the Family presents this initial statement.

The John Paul Academy for Human Life and the Family unreservedly welcomes this long overdue judgement of the Supreme Court.

We congratulate the Justices on their integrity and courage which will save the lives of many millions of babies in America.

We celebrate the victory of the American Pro Life movement which for almost a half century has struggled heroically against Roe versus Wade, an unjust judgement which has brought about the death of over sixty three million American babies.

Our Academy look upon this decision as the historic first milestone in ridding the United States and the world of all induced abortion which is a most brutal [1] crime of against humanity [2] without parallel.

Dr. Thomas Ward, President, John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family
