Pro-Life, Christian Leaders React to Trump Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch - CBN News
Pro-Life, Christian Leaders React to Trump Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch
CBN News 02-01-2017
President Donald Trump named Judge Neil Gorsuch as his nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Antonin Scalia died last February leaving eight justices on the court.
Gorsuch currently serves on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. He has the backing of pro-life and conservative groups.
"He is the man our country needs to make sure the rule of law and the rule of justice are followed," Trump stated.
"I pledge if I am confirmed... to uphold the laws of the Constitution of the United States," Gorsuch said.
Trump recognized the importance of the decision he made saying, "After defense of the nation, appointing a justice is the most important decision a president makes."
REACTION
“We’re very encouraged by President Trump's nominee to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, who has appeared before the Supreme Court in numerous cases. “Judge Gorsuch is a remarkably qualified nominee with a conservative judicial philosophy and a commitment to uphold the rule of law and the Constitution. He is decidedly pro-life and understands what it means to protect the constitutional freedoms afforded to all Americans."
“I applaud President Trump for nominating a fair-minded Constitutionalist like Judge Gorsuch to serve on our highest court. With this selection, President Trump has chosen a respected jurist who will uphold both the spirit and the letter of our law," Congressman Diane Black, R-Tenn. said, "I am especially encouraged by Judge Gorsuch’s opinions in the cases of Hobby Lobby vs. Sebelius and Little Sisters of the Poor vs. Burwell, which display a clear respect for religious freedom that has been missing in too many corners of Washington over the last eight years."
"All too often, our efforts to protect unborn children and other vulnerable humans have been overridden by judges who believe they have a right to impose their own policy preferences," said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. "We are heartened that Judge Gorsuch appears to share Justice Scalia's view that federal judges are constrained to enforce the text and original intent of constitutional provisions, and on all other matters should defer to democratically elected lawmakers."
“President Trump has not only fulfilled his most important promise to the evangelical community in this selection he has gone over and above by repeatedly doubling down on those issues most important to the community during his first ten days as president. His endorsement of and the administration’s participation in the March for Life coupled with his prompt attention to the Mexico City Ruling were a precursors to tonight’s very good news. Should this nominee be confirmed, Scalia’s legacy will live on for at least another generation. Evangelicals are ecstatic, said Johnnie Moore, Evangelical Author and Humanitarian.
“I want to congratulate Judge Neil Gorsuch on his nomination to the Supreme Court in the spirit of Justice Antonin Scalia. Serving in the Highest Court of the Land is not only one of the highest honors in our country’s government, but also one of its most important responsibilities. As such, my prayers are wholeheartedly for Judge Gorsuch. May he, if confirmed, lead a long and successful career as a Supreme Court Justice, upholding our Constitution with firmness and righteousness," said Dr. Ronnie Floyd, Past President of the Southern Baptist Convention.
“For many Evangelicals, Trump’s campaign promise to appoint a Supreme Court Justice in the mold of Antonin Scalia — an originalist who would uphold the Constitution — was the single most important issue facing the American people this past election. I am greatly encouraged by the nomination of Judge Gorsuch as he represents a clear and definitive fulfillment of President Trump’s promise," said Dr. David Jeremiah, Pastor and host of the well-known Turning Point radio program.
“I pray for our leaders that they would have the wisdom and the political courage to swiftly confirm Judge Gorsuch to the highest court in the land. I thank God that President Trump and Vice President Pence have selected a judge who will carry on the legacy of the late Justice Antonin Scalia," Jeremiah also said.
“Judge Gorsuch will have big shoes to fill in replacing the late and revered Justice Antonin Scalia. As Jefferson so eloquently reminded us, the God who gave us life gave us liberty, so I pray Judge Gorsuch never forgets to value each and every American as our Maker does," Greg Laurie, Evangelist and author, said.
“To that end, should he be confirmed, I would urge Judge Gorsuch to speak up for the rights of all those who are oppressed and marginalized, including the lives of the unborn. May he and his colleagues also be faithful voices for the fundamental right to the free exercise of religion, as we have seen such privileges become threatened by judicial overreach. With the immense power bestowed upon the Supreme Court, may our judges ensure that America will remain a beacon of hope in a world where so many are robbed of the freedom and dignity they deserve," Laurie also said.
“As our nation’s political divide has seemed more like a chasm in recent weeks, I urge our politicians on both sides of the aisle to give an honest confirmation hearing to President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch. It has long been the case that presidents are given deferential treatment when it comes to their nominees for Cabinet positions and for the Supreme Court. The recent trend of blocking such nominees by both Republicans and Democrats must stop. Their political games are not in the best interest of the security and prosperity of the United States, said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
“I pray for our political leaders that they would have wisdom and political courage to act fairly and to do right by the American people. I pray also for Judge Gorsuch, that, should he ultimately be confirmed, he would be a blessing to this country, upholding the Constitution of the United States with virtue and justice for all. “I commend President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for selecting a judge with such a commendable track record on issues important to the Evangelical community," Rodriguez concluded.
“I was thrilled to hear that Judge Gorsuch has been nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court. He has already led an impressive career as a champion of the originalist interpretation of the Constitution. In an era of justices legislating from the bench and attempting to re-shape our basic laws and rights, I hope and pray that Judge Gorsuch will rule in a fashion that applies our Constitution and the Bill of Rights as our founders intended," Dr. Michael D. Evans, award-winning journalist, commentator, minister, and head of several prominent international non-profit organizations in the U.S., Netherlands, and Israel, "In the coming months, many pressing issues will be left in the hands of our country’s Supreme Court Justices, and this nomination gives me great peace of mind.”

P. Parenthood Letter Reveals Baby Tissue Secrets
P. Parenthood Letter Reveals Baby Tissue Secrets
Tuesday, September 01, 2015
The nation's biggest abortion provider is trying to push back against several congressional investigations that have begun in the wake of a series of stunning undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress.
In the letter, Planned Parenthood claims they obey all laws, and they admit they are "proud to have a role in fetal tissue research."
But the American Center for Law and Justice said the letter exposes nine shocking practices at Planned Parenthood.
For example, Planned Parenthood finally admits that abortion is a "core" service, something watchdog groups have known for years.
And they acknowledge that nearly 20 percent of affiliates, possibly 100 sites, have been involved in selling baby body parts over the last five years.
The abortion company also admits to receiving "$60 per tissue specimen," which can quickly add up when a baby is dissected and his or her organs are sold.
They also claim that federal law requiring consent for fetal tissue donations is "not applicable" to them.
"The federal rules relating to consent and timing and method of abortion when the donated tissue is used for federally funded fetal transplantation research are therefore not applicable to any recent fetal tissue donations in the United States," the letter states.
ACLJ counsel Matthew Clark says Planned Parenthood believes it has figured out a legal loophole "to exploit the bodies of the babies it has killed for financial gain at the expense of the health and safety of the women in the hands of its supposed 'care.'"
"Planned Parenthood is boldly asserting that federal law requiring the informed consent of the woman and requiring no alteration in the timing and method (how the abortion is performed) is 'not applicable' to Planned Parenthood," Clark writes.

Obama Just Sided With the Folks Chanting "Death to America, Death to Israel"
Tuesday President Obama betrayed Israel and the American people.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it best. He called the deal a "bad mistake of historic proportions."
"Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons. Many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted," Netanyahu said. "Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world."
It was a deal made out of either sheer ignorance—or out of more nefarious reasons.
Who in their right mind would negotiate in good faith with an enemy who wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and whose citizens are marching in the streets shouting death to America?
Lost in this diplomatic debacle is the fate of four Americans held hostage by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
One of those men is Saeed Abedini—an Idaho pastor—thrown in prison because of his Christian faith. For nearly three years he has been tortured at the hands of his Muslim captors.
President Obama promised Pastor Saeed's family that his release would be a top priority—but his words were meaningless.
So now Pastor Abedini's wife is turning to Congress—pleading with our elected leaders to save her husband's life.
"I plead with Congress to ensure that my husband, an American citizen, is not left behind," Naghmeh Abedini said.
"Congress holds the key to bringing my husband home, to returning the father to my children," she said. "My children have desperately missed the loving embrace of their father for the last three years of their lives. They have grown up almost half of their lives without their father. Please help us ensure the remainder of their childhood includes both a mother and a father."
Jay Sekulow, the chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, denounced the Obama Administration's deal with Iran and called it "unconscionable" that the agreement did not secure the freedom of Pastor Saeed.
"President Obama told the Abedini family face-to-face that he considered the release of Pastor Saeed a 'top priority,'" Sekulow said. "How could that be a 'top priority' when a deal is reached and Pastor Saeed is left behind?"
At the very least President Obama should pick up the telephone and call Mrs. Abedini and explain why he left her husband behind to be tortured by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
