Federal Judge Overturns Texas Ban on Dismemberment Abortions

2017-11-26

[Breitbart] A federal judge has struck down a Texas law that bans second-trimester dismemberment abortions, those in which an unborn baby is "torn limb from limb" and then extracted from the uterus.

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that banning dismemberment abortion ‐ a form of "D&E" (dilation and evacuation) abortion ‐ places an "undue burden" upon women.

"The State’s valid interest in promoting respect for the life of the unborn, although legitimate, is not sufficient to justify such a substantial obstacle to the constitutionally protected right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy before fetal viability," the judge wrote.

In a medical animation video provided by pro-life organization Live Action, former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino demonstrates a second-trimester D&E abortion during which the abortionist uses instruments to remove the limbs from an unborn baby, between 13 to 24 weeks into a pregnancy, prior to extraction from the uterus:

#5 Just like going to a junkyard to get auto parts. Pretty disgusting.

#4 If the fetus has limbs, a brain and a heart that is beating that all sounds pretty viable to me.
Sadly the left sees them as commodities to be sold on the open market - hence Planned Parenthood and Baby Parts.

#2 the constitutionally protected right

I'm sure the judge can point out the language in the paper document that reads that way. Otherwise its a judicial creation built upon one presumption after another ignoring the actual text which reads "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

#1 Perhaps the annihilation of progressive western cultures through unchecked global immigration is justified.
