"Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission that Wisconsin’s tax commission violated the First Amendment by denying a tax exemption to a Catholic charities chapter based on a faulty conclusion its works were not religious.

While the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the denial, SCOTUS unanimously reversed that ruling for not maintaining “neutrality” toward the Bureau’s theological decisions and practices."

Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.
