Vocal Point-Rev. Dean Nelson

Topic: Abortion

On Wednesday, March 4, 2020, the Supreme Court heard arguments for the abortion-related case of June Medical Services v. Russo. While the justices were hearing arguments inside, there were protests and speeches going on outside. (It was in this context where senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, made his threats against Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.) Meanwhile, one of those speaking in favor of life at the protests outside was Rev. Dean Nelson, who is the Executive Director for Human Coalition Action. Rev. Nelson said, “Abortion not only ends the life of the preborn child, but also poses considerable risks to the life and health of the mother. Concern for a woman’s well-being should dictate the requirement that only licensed medical doctors with full admitting privileges to local hospitals should perform such procedures.” The coalition has filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of the pro-life position. Rev. Dean Nelson joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss this case and what is at stake. www.hucocoalition.org
