CRITICAL PRAYER NEEDED ALL WEEK
FOR MAJOR SUPREME COURT PRO-LIFE CASE
On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the California case of NIFLA v. Becerra. The Court will be deciding the constitutionality of a California law requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to post information about abortion services. This form of compelled speech violates the Free Speech Clause of the Constitution, which not only protects your right to speak freely, but also prevents the government from telling you to say things which are contrary to your conscience or your religious beliefs.
THREE WAYS TO PRAY:
Pray with believers:
1) Monday during final preparations of the case
2) Tuesday during oral arguments (9 a.m.-12 noon ET)
[Note:This is a conference call, sponsored by Allan Parker and The Justice Foundation]
Conference Number: (712) 451-0259
Access Code: 839798.#
3) Wednesday-Friday as the justices deliberate
Pray the promises of Scripture as we petition God's heavenly throne to protect life:
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." (1 John 5:14)
PRAYER TARGETS:
1. Victory for life and essential constitutional freedoms.
2. Intercessors on-site at the Supreme Court.
3. Justice would be done; righteousness and religious liberty established.
4. All lies will be exposed and fall harmless to the ground.
5. Skilled wisdom and anointed words from Michael Farris, the President of Alliance Defending Freedom, former head of the Home School Legal Defense Fund and Patrick Henry College, who will be presenting the Oral Argument on behalf of the crisis pregnancy centers.
6. Every member of the Supreme Court: Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, Elena Kagan, Clarence Thomas, Sonia Sotomayor, and Neil Gorsuch.

What is NIFLA v. Becerra?

Freedom of Speech Includes the Right to Remain Silent
The Supreme Court must strike down a California law that compels pro-life crisis-pregnancy centers' speech in violation of the First Amendment.
Governments routinely behave badly, but sometimes their mean-spiritedness comes to the Supreme Court's attention. On Tuesday, it will hear oral arguments concerning the constitutionality of measures that California's government has taken to compel pro-life entities to speak against their own mission.
Crisis-pregnancy centers are nonprofit facilities usually owned and operated by people with religious objections to abortion. Some centers are licensed medical facilities providing pregnancy testing, ultrasound examinations, medical referrals, prenatal vitamins, etc. Other centers are unlicensed because they provide only nonmedical services (self-administered pregnancy-testing kits, parenting-preparation training, baby clothes, diapers, etc.)
A 2015 California law requires licensed crisis-pregnancy centers to tell clients (in pamphlets, in waiting-room signs) this: "California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care and abortion for eligible women." Unlicensed centers are required to notify clients that the center "is not licensed as a medical facility by the state of California and has no licensed medical provider who provides or directly supervises the provision of services."
So, government compels licensed centers to provide free advertisements for government-provided abortions. And government compels unlicensed centers to say - in large fonts, in as many as 13 languages, even on their own websites - that they do not have medical providers that the government itself says, by not requiring them to be licensed, are not necessary for the services they provide. The government's obvious nasty purpose is to make the unlicensed centers' clients unnecessarily uneasy.

STAND IN REPENTANCE
As we offer our prayers over this vital, pro-life case which shall be heard tomorrow inside the Supreme Court, we offer prayers of REPENTANCE for the many other cases that have been decided in that chamber that decree that it is LAWFUL to take the life of the unborn child.
STAND IN REPENTANCE for this wickedness, and ask our Lord to show us His mercy, as together we STAND FOR LIFE during the NIFLA hearing tomorrow.
Thank you!
