Thomas More Society Counsel Michael McHale finds the silver lining in a recent United States Supreme Court decision that was disappointing for pro-life advocates. On the surface, June Medical v.

McHale’s analysis shows a different point of view – how this decision "opens the door for a new wave of pro-life legislation that can and will save lives."
