Ponnuru said members of the media also misrepresent the potential effects of a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
"People think if you overturn Roe, that means outlawing abortion. The Washington Post ran an editorial about a month and a half ago speculating on whether (Supreme Court Justice Samuel) Alito would vote 'to outlaw abortions,' as if one justice is going to force local prosecutors to start taking cases they don't want to take."
LaRue hopes the Supreme Court will overturn Roe, leaving decisions about abortion laws to state legislatures and voters.
"The question of whether or not abortion ought to be a constitutional right should have been left to the American people to decide," LaRue concluded to enthusiastic applause.
"Thank God that the newest Supreme Court justice (Alito) refused to say that Roe v. Wade is a super-duper precedent beyond the court's reconsideration. Let's all pray that one day real soon it will be back in the hands of the people where it belongs."
