Obama-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone overruled the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, ruling to vacate two previous rulings creating religious exemptions to the Obamacare mandate that employers must cover contraceptives.

Beetlestone wrote that the previous exemptions are “vacated in their entirety,” calling them "arbitrary and capricious."

The exemptions were granted by SCOTUS in 2017 and 2020, but Pennsylvania and New Jersey continued to sue the Little Sisters of the Poor, looking for angles not covered by the previous rulings.

Becket Fund for Religious Liberty President and lead counsel for the Sisters Mark Rienzi said that the ruling “bless[ed] an out-of-control effort by Pennsylvania and New Jersey to attack the Little Sisters and religious liberty.”

"We will fight"

“It’s bad enough that the district court issued a nationwide ruling invalidating federal religious conscience rules. But even worse is that the district court simply ducked the glaring constitutional issues in this case, after waiting five years and not even holding a hearing,” Rienzi said in a statement.

“It is absurd to think the Little Sisters might need yet another trip to the Supreme Court to end what has now been more than a dozen years of litigation over the same issue. We will fight as far as we need to fight to protect the Little Sisters’ right to care for the elderly in peace,” he continued.

Little Sisters will appeal the ruling and start the process of defending their religious freedoms all over again for the third time.

“As Little Sisters of the Poor, we dedicate our lives to caring for the elderly poor until God calls them home,” Mother Loraine Marie Maguire of the Little Sisters of the Poor said in a statement. “We will continue to fight for the right to carry out our mission without violating our faith, and we pray Pennsylvania and New Jersey will end this needless harassment.”

Destruction

Liberals seem to think it's their duty to make sure all women in the U.S. can prevent their bodies from bearing children in any way they seem fit.

Whether it's a microscopic embryo or an almost full-term child that can survive outside the womb, they think you should be able to destroy it at your whim.

And in their view, those whose consciences don't agree should be forced to go along with the destruction anyway because clearly their deeply held religious views are garbage and don't need to be respected.

It's going to be satisfying watching the Supreme Court slap down this judge and put her in her place.

There's no way SCOTUS can let this stand.

If lower courts are allowed to reverse Supreme Court rulings, it will be the end of our judicial system as we know it.
