This thread can be a place to note various rulings, possibly to get an idea of “how winds are blowing,” for Christians, and people of other faiths. Positives, and negatives?
The perception has been, that Christians have been specially targeted as needing to adjust to societal tastes, and/or, just “go away,” altogether. Christians are not surprised when the world hates them.
Jesus clearly warned to be prepared. But, we are grateful to have respect and freedom to worship, and to raise our families in faith.
These attitudes and rulings vary in other countries, some being much more harsh than what we’ve experienced in the U.S. In some countries, Christians are under physical attack, put in prisons, murdered for their faith. In some cases, as in England, and some other “progressive” European countries, courts regularly rule against Christians, esp in matters of family, employment, free speech, etc.
This thread is principally about what’s happening in U.S. courts, but, mentions of other countries, including our close neighbors, Canada and Mexico, are ok, too.
Pro-life policies within the United States are growing “like a steady drumbeat,” according to an abortion analyst.
State trend analyst for the Guttmacher Institute Elizabeth Nash spoke out about the increase in pro-life legislation across the United States in an interview with BuzzFeed News. The analyst, who works in Guttmacher’s Washington, D.C., office and has studied abortion legislation at the state level since 1999, noted that pro-abortion policies took a hit in 2019.
“It’s been a rough decade for those that support abortion rights,” Nash told Buzzfeed, adding that pro-life policies are growing “like a steady drumbeat getting louder each year.”
“In January 2011, the bills just started flying; the restrictions started moving very quickly,” Nash said. “It kick-started the wave of abortion restrictions we’ve been seeing to this day, and because the pendulum hasn’t fully swung back on the state level, it’s been hard to push back.” .. ..
A lot of people from different experiences have worked in many different ways on this... The publication notes that there have been 27 bans on abortion since Kavanaugh’s confirmation—“at rates this country has never seen before.” And three states have adopted legislation in 2019 immediately banning abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned: Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.
The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute is “a leading research and policy organization committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights in the United States and globally.”
One of the sad things about abortion is how many potential copy editors, mathematicians, and other essential members of society are missing.And three states have adopted legislation in 2019 immediately banning abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned: Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.

BK is a result, a response, not an initiator of biased/questionable rulings.
Ginsberg, Sotomayer, Kagan, come to mind.

In future, Amy Coney Barrett may be considered:
The question for this thread began with,
“Are court rulings moderatng?”
At this point, the answer appears to be: Definitely.
Regarding BK, my view is, the noise is about “what he is certain to do.”
But, that is unknown, it’s (more) speculation presented as fact.
Time will tell. In my experience, judges often surprise/disappoint.
They are given leeway to rule, which often turns out unpredicted, and for the best.
Christians can pray for all impacted, now and in future.

(like Barrett) appointed to the Supreme Court.
And that, friends, has absolutely nothing to do with what any voter goes and does in the ballot box. It is entirely up to people who already won their elections 2 or more years ago.
Personally, my preference would be a for a Supreme Court justice to have a solid conversion experience, and issue rulings with true justice, until their convictions become strong enough they find they need to resign a worldly court, lest they face judgment in the ultimate High Court in the day to come.
