Federal appeals court upholds Texas law limiting dismemberment abortion procedure

Just The News: The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled in favor of a Texas law limiting dismemberment abortion procedures used in the second trimester, setting up a possible showdown in the Supreme Court.

The law from 2017 has not been enforced, but it prevents aborting a live fetus by dismemberment without first using a suction procedure or injected drug to ensure that it is dead, CBS DFW reported.

Last year, the law was struck down by a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court. Texas obtained a rehearing by the full court (minus three judges who were recused), where a majority of 14 appellate judges ruled in favor of the state law.

The judges ruled that banning the procedure — known medically as dilation and evacuation — did not prevent women from getting abortions and that opponents of the bill had created a “false dichotomy.”

“The record shows that doctors can safely perform D&Es and comply with SB8 using methods that are already in widespread use,” the judges added.  more here

  1. Nice, but how about you simplify the law just a bit more? You know instead of “HOW can I kill”, just make it “Thou shalt NOT kill.”?

    …so simple, it should be written down someplace…

  2. “…setting up a possible showdown in the Supreme Court.”

    …Texas?

    Standing is NO.

    You don’t have a leg to stand on, or at least your babies won’t, because my master satan sez let ’em get pulled off.

    What? Too soon?

    I don’t care. Especially not as long as they have those pictures of me.

    NO.

    STANDING.

  3. The ghouls don’t wanna inject lethal drugs into the unborn baby to kill it before dismembering and removing it because the drugs render the baby body parts no good for sale.
