In the next few days, we will be filing two briefs with the Florida Supreme Court to overturn an activist court ruling in a 1989 decision on abortion that made Florida even more liberal than Roe v. Wade.

The fight for life did not end with Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned 49 years of Roe v. Wade's butchery. Now Liberty Counsel must fight state by state to save the unborn and we need YOUR help.

Since Dobbs overturned the U.S. Supreme Court's terrible abortion decisions, Florida has become a destination for abortion. In 1989, the Florida Supreme Court made the Sunshine State even more liberal on abortion than Roe v. Wade. That is about to change!

Our powerful brief in Dobbs v. Jackson exposed the racist and eugenic underpinnings of the abortion world. The Supreme Court cited our brief in the opinion that ended 49 years of bloodshed under Roe v. Wade.

But now, we must now take this battle state by state to protect the unborn across the land. Late last year, representing the same plaintiffs as we did in the Dobbs case — the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and the Frederick Douglass Foundation — we filed briefs in defense of pro-life laws with the Supreme Courts of Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.

Representing the same clients, and a host of new clients, we will file briefs with the Florida Supreme Court.

In 1989, an activist Florida Supreme Court used Article 1, Section 23 of the Florida Constitution — which governs the right of Florida citizens to hold their documents in privacy from the government — as justification for endorsing and allowing the murder of the unborn.

The court received no briefing on its decision, and no record from the courts below in making the decision. Instead, that radicalized court invented the use for this clause out of thin air in order to allow a minor child to receive an abortion without her parent's consent.

At the time, the Florida Supreme Court justices claimed that a fetus is a highly specialized group of cells solely dependent upon the mother for support. This made Florida even more radically extreme on abortion than Roe v. Wade! Now, like at the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs, we have the opportunity to undo this radical opinion and protect preborn life.

In Dobbs v. Jackson, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the underlying argument justifying Roe v. Wade was invalid, and thus overturned the rule that cost more than 64 million unborn American children their lives. Because the Florida Court's decision was based on flawed legal reasoning that perverted the Florida Constitution, I believe this case also will be overturned.

All of this has come to the forefront again because the State of Florida took a major step forward in protecting life, by banning abortions after 15 weeks of gestation.

I was General Counsel for Florida Right to Life back in 1989 and I remember this case well. This goes to show the importance of diligence and patience. It took us 51 years to overturn the 1971 Lemon Test that was used to silence Christian viewpoints for so long. It took 49 years to overturn Roe v. Wade.

As people of faith, we need short- and long-term strategies to fight evil. And we must NEVER give up on what is right — even if that fight takes us 10, 30, or 50 years to win. Too often people get discouraged and walk off the battlefield, missing the victory that would have been achieved had they just persisted.

Over 64 million children have been butchered via abortion. Still, thousands more are killed every day even since Roe was overturned.
