The 16,000 members of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations cheered on Friday the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the faulty 1973 ruling that created a "right' to abortion in the U.S. Constitution.

Finally, after nearly 50 years, the court is accepting science, they said.

"This is a much-needed victory for life and for healthcare. And, most importantly, it is a much-needed victory for the dignity of our patients and their unborn babies," said CMDA Senior Vice President of Bioethics and Public Policy Jeff Barrows.

The organization explained, "In the nearly 50 years since the Supreme Court wrongly decided Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, medical science has progressed significantly and has increasingly supported the pro-life position. The science of embryology supports life beginning at conception. Second, recent research has shown that pre-born babies can feel pain as early as 12 weeks' gestation. Third, research documents that abortion is associated with an increased risk of pre-term birth and breast cancer in the mother."
