St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson speaks at a news conference Monday, May 22, 2017, announcing a federal lawsuit to stop a St. Louis ordinance that prohibits discrimination based on "reproductive health decisions." The suit says the law enacted in February infringes on freedom of religion rights of those who oppose abortion. Behind Carlson are attorney Sarah Pitlyk, left, of the Thomas More Society, a non-profit law firm that filed the suit, and Peggy Forrest, executive director of Our Lady's Inn, which provides services for pregnant women who are homeless and is a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
