“In a Rose Garden speech in 2017, President Trump announced that the Little Sisters of the Poor’s ‘long ordeal will soon be over,’” stated Butterfield.

“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld efforts by the Trump Administration to protect the religious conscience rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor and thousands of other organizations like them.  The Court’s decision is a major victory for life, for the rule of law, and for the religious liberty of all Americans.”
