The Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade yesterday, a federal law that enabled women to get abortions legally. That is now left up to individual states, many of which are already adopting laws restricting that right.
The news brought on protests nationwide as well as widespread condemnation from professional sports teams and athletes, including a few Seahawks players. Here’s what receivers Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf shared.
Love to ALL Women ❤️

To all the women I just want to say I’m sorry. It is not right what this country is doing

The wisest man we know is former Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin, who shared some thoughts that coincide with his faith.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
If it’s not love, what is it?

Jesus said “love your neighbor” and defined love as “not demanding its own way”
So don’t believe them when they lie and say this is about God. They don’t know God.

Earlier this week the Supreme Court also struck down a New York law that restricted concealed carry, making it easier for anyone acoss the U.S. to carry a handgun.
However you feel about either issue, the court’s decision to take away the rights of some while enabling them for others is a very bad development for a nation that is already divided.
