Hi, this is Jim Dennis with Dennis Informed, and this is the Daily article for Wednesday, June 27, 2018.

The Supreme Court continued its busy week yesterday. One of its rulings related to a California law

requiring pro-life clinics to inform clients about state-funded abortions. Imagine a law requiring a Christian pastor to instruct the congregation about Islam or a Jewish rabbi

Abortion clinics were not required to notify parents of pro-life options.

I'm grateful to report that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down this onerous law.

The ruling highlights two facts.

First, it's always too soon to stop fighting for life. Even though abortion

legal victories continue to be won. However, there's much more to do.

More than 926,000 lives were lost to abortion in 2014,

the last year for which data is available.

So long as abortion is legal, we must continue to pray and work to make it unthinkable.

Second, the courts are critical to our society. Just this

month, the Supreme Court issued rulings on issues ranging from religious liberty to voter

registration, to redistricting, to the president's travel ban. As we pray for our leaders,

as First Timothy 2 calls us to do, it's vital that we regularly intercede for those who lead and serve

in our judicial system. While yesterday's ruling is enormously significant for free speech and for life,
