CHARLOTTE, NC, Feb. 28 /Christian News Wire/ -- Response from Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue/Save America to today's US Supreme Court decision on NOW v. Scheidler:

"In its second decision in three years, the Supreme Court of the United States of America has once again flattened the radical pro-abortion industry’s attempt to criminalize Christianity," said Rev. Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue/Save America. "In another death blow, the Supremes handed the fanatics in the National Organization of Women (NOW), Planned Parenthood, and the abortion industry in general, their death certificate." Will this end their incomprehensible rage and fury against Christianity? Not hardly!

For 20 years now, they (NOW, Planned Parenthood, et. al.) have dragged gentle Christians through the mud of the media and our nation’s court system in depositions, trials, and various outrageous hearings, costing them (the Christians) millions of dollars. In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Christians who lived out their faith at abortion mills were not racketeers. "We rejoiced!" said Rev. Benham, "But even the Supreme Court could not abate the frenzy and fierceness of the abortion industry."

NOW's trickery relied on the 1970 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, used predominantly in criminal cases against organized crime. Their attempt was to label and libel gentle Christians, living out their Christian faith at abortion mills, as racketeers!

Today, in a unanimous 8-0 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that federal extortion and racketeering laws cannot be used to ban Christians from living out their faith in the streets. This decision has now, and forever, declared that Christians are not racketeers!

The real purpose of NOW v. Scheidler was to tarnish the name of Jesus Christ and His image-bearers. It was a systematic attempt to paint every gentle Christian who went to an abortion clinic to save babies, as a wild-eyed lunatic bent on blowing up abortion mills and shooting abortionists. With the help of the media, the lawsuit did accomplish this purpose, but it could not stop the song. The song goes on! The True Life Giver continues on, until one day abortion will be shoved into its grave. No one will dare put a marker over it but God Himself!
