Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Michael Farris, who helped argue the case before the Supreme Court, stated that the decision was a victory for a society that has diverse opinions on issues like abortion.

"Tolerance and respect for good-faith differences of opinion are essential in a diverse society like ours ... They enable us to coexist peacefully with one another. If we want to have freedom for ourselves, we have to extend it to others."
