NRB Stands for Sanctity of Life, Integrity of the Supreme Court
Please join NRB in praying for the strength, integrity, and security of the Supreme Court as the Court deliberates on matters of critical importance to our nation, including the issues at stake in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
“As Christians, we oppose the destruction of innocent life through abortion and desire to see the sanctity of life affirmed in our nation’s laws—including if this matter is referred back to the states in the near future,” said CEO Troy A. Miller. “However, we are alarmed by this malicious attempt to undermine the confidential deliberative work of the Supreme Court, and we pray for God’s protection on all Supreme Court justices as they continue in their public service.”

Supreme Court Unanimously Rules Rejection of Christian Flag at Boston City Hall Unconstitutional
On Monday, May 2, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that it was unconstitutional for the city of Boston to reject a request from a local Christian organization to fly a Christian flag in front of City Hall when it had never refused other
flags—including national flags, political flags, holiday flags, and the “Pride” flag during Boston Pride Week.
“NRB applauds this unanimous decision by the Supreme Court, as well as the bipartisan affirmation of First Amendment freedoms surrounding this case,” said NRB CEO Troy A. Miller. “We are vigilant of hostility toward religious free speech on the local level and view this 9-0 vote as a significant repudiation of bureaucratic double standards that amount to discrimination.”
