While in Kansas City at the National Right to Life Convention this past week, good news was plentiful!
Out of the Supreme Court, pro-life pregnancy centers were vindicated and their free speech protected. The next day, Justice Anthony Kennedy resigned, opening up a giant vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Reports indicate that President Trump will make a selection next Monday, and New Orleans native Judge Amy Coney Barrett is apparently on the short list.
The Senate confirmation will be tough, and nothing is ever for sure on the Supreme Court, but the excitement is building!
Finally, in Kansas City, Louisianian Henry Nguyen from Abbeville won the National Pro-Life Oratory Contest with his talk about euthanasia! In a neat turn of events, Henry learned about the contest after Krista Corbello from our team presented at his high school, Vermilion Catholic, this past year. This was on the heels of a fantastic Pulse Leadership Institute in Baton Rouge the week before.
The pro-life movement, both in government and in our youth, is riding a wave of success. Let's keep it going. Have a great 4th of July!
For a Pro-Life Louisiana,
Benjamin Clapper
