What We Learned From the Arguments About Abortion at the Supreme Court and Congress

3/5/2016

 
Wednesday, March 2 was a busy day for pro-lifers in Washington, D.C.. Outside of the United States Supreme Court, hundreds gathered to pray and rally during oral arguments for Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the biggest abortion case in 20 years.
Across the street, witnesses and spectators gathered to hear testimony during the first hearing by the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives. This subcommittee was created after the release of the authentic, non-manipulated undercover videos by the Center for Medical Progress to investigate the practices of harvesting and potentially selling the body parts of aborted babies.
Together, these two events consisted of hours of testimony and questioning concerning the practices of abortionists. Most notably:
  • Whether or not abortionists should have to follow basic health and safety standards that protect women who have abortions. (Supreme Court)
  • Whether or not the practice of harvesting and selling the body parts of aborted babies is ethical. (Congress)
While these questions are no-brainers for pro-life advocates who seek to protect women and their unborn children, the fact remains that we live in a society where these issues still require debate.
So after hours of testimony from experts and reasoned questions from panelists and Supreme Court justices, this is what we learned:
Standards for "tissue" donation consent are sorely lacking in abortion clinics...

There have been ZERO cures provided from fetal tissue research...

Abortion advocates frame any and all regulations on the abortion industry as an attack on women...


Abortion advocates don't trust women to make their own decisions…

The FAQs: The Supreme Court Case on Texas Abortion Clinics

3/5/2016

 
On March 2, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the most significant abortion case since Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. Here is what you should know about the case.
What was the case about?After the Kermit Gosnell scandal created an awareness of the unsafe, unsanitary, and largely unregulated conditions in abortion clinics in America, the State of Texas passed House Bill 2. According toAlliance Defending Freedom, HB2—which became law in 2013—mandates that abortion facilities adhere to ambulatory surgical center requirements common to most outpatient facilities, and it also requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion facility to be able to handle emergencies when something goes wrong.  
Whole Woman's Health, an abortion provider in Texas, challenged the law in federal court, claiming it was expensive, not medically necessary, and interfered with women's health care.
