Was a Pro-Life Group's Free Speech Suppressed?
An Ohio law that was used to stifle the political speech of a pro-life group appears in jeopardy Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of Susan B. Anthony List vs. Driehaus.
While Supreme Court decisions are difficult to predict based upon the justices questions during oral arguments, all nine justices "seemed very concerned" about the freedom of speech implications in the case, Casey Mattox, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, told The Christian Post Tuesday. Mattox was in the court audience.
In 2010, Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group, was campaigning against Democratic Ohio Congressman Steve Driehaus because he voted for the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." Driehaus was one of the pro-life Democrats who negotiated a compromise with President Barack Obama over abortion funding in the bill.
