The Constitution of the United States stands alone in its brilliance at incorporating the Western philosophical precepts of God-given human rights and of limited government instituted for their protection. As the oldest written constitution still in effect, its longevity testifies to the genius and principled dedication of its framers. George Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention, where the new covenant between the governing and the governed was established. Today, a state bearing his name is threatening the most fundamental American principles.
Through its attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom, Cedar Park Church, northeast of Seattle, filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit after a lower court ruled that the church must violate its constitutionally protected pro-life religious beliefs and abide by the state’s mandate that Washington employers provide abortion coverage for employees.
