Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After reading the ruling, I believe the judge\u2019s legal reasoning is rock-solid.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s obvious to any impartial observer that the FDA broke the law when they approved mifepristone to cause chemical abortions.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But because of contradictory rulings from different courts, this case will likely end up before the Supreme Court. In fact, those negative rulings may be a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>With five solid pro-life justices (plus Chief Justice Roberts, who is more apprehensive on abortion) \u2013 we have a good shot at winning a Supreme Court decision that will end the abortion pill\u2019s 23-year reign of death.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But that doesn\u2019t mean the pro-abortion side will surrender quietly.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You and I both know they\u2019ll use every page in the book to promote abortion:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lies. Chaos. Threats. Violence.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>As good as this news is, I want to warn you to be on guard in the coming days \u2013 both physically and spiritually.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I fully expect protests all over the nation, especially directed at pro-life clinics and Catholic churches.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because of our Church\u2019s teaching against abortion, there may well be an increase in violent attacks against Catholic churches during Easter Masses and in the days that follow.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First and foremost, please pray for the safety of all Catholics and pro-life volunteers.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And second, please be wise.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t engage with pro-abortion protesters \u2013 at your parish or anywhere else. You won\u2019t convince them, at least not now. They\u2019re only trying to cause trouble.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on how to deal with anti-Catholic violence, I strongly suggest you read our free eBook, <em>Burning the Churches: Anti-Catholic Violence and Government Silence.<\/em> You can download it <a href=\"http:\/\/email.vervemail.com\/ct\/62533860:6Z1-HeGNt:m:1:416074533:8A003C794B64064BF6B4632C024AA664:r\">here.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m not suggesting that your parish will be targeted.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But with over 300 attacks against Catholic churches in recent years, I\u2019m just urging you to use caution.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Anti-Catholic violence aside, you and I should celebrate this pro-life ruling today <\/strong><strong>or whenever you see my message<\/strong><strong> \u2013 while also remembering the millions of lives lost to the abortion pill over the last 23 years.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I promise to write soon with more thoughts.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For now, I just wanted to tell you the good news.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brian<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">P.S.
