Appeals Court Sides with Pro-Lifers in BLM Case | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

An opinion piece says the DC government may be held accountable for a Black Lives Matter double standard. This after an appeals court this week sided with pro-lifers who had written "Black Pre-Born Lives Matter" in chalk on a sidewalk. Writing in the Daily Signal, Tyler O'Neil says in part "The arrest of pro-lifers only underscores the message that if you don't agree with the government-enforced ideology on race and abortion, you don't have the same rights." He also says the group from Students for Life of America and the Frederick Douglass Foundation were only guilty of "heresy against the state religion." Chief Media and Policy Strategist of Students for Life, Kristi Hamrick, joins to share what happened when the kids went to write their message in chalk on a DC sidewalk in 2020 and why they did it in the first place. Hamrick tells us her reaction when she heard the appeals court had sided with her group and the Frederick Douglass Foundation. She discusses what comes next in the case. Hamrick fills us in on whether this ruling could have wider implications for pro-lifers who protest peacefully outside abortion businesses. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
