The ACLU is threatening a legal challenge to a ban on "dismemberment" abortions. Liberty Counsel's legal team is aggressively working to uphold the ban in Kansas and we will engage the ACLU in any state where the ban is challenged.

Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief on behalf of three groups of pro-life physicians in support of the Kansas law known as the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act, which currently bans "dismemberment" abortions.
In the brief, Liberty Counsel represents the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Pediatricians, and the Catholic Medical Association arguing that the law banning "dismemberment" abortions should be upheld.
This common type of procedure for second trimester abortions is defined, in part as, "knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus."
Liberty Counsel's brief argues that since medical research has determined unborn babies feel pain by the second trimester, prohibiting this harsh and painful procedure furthers the state's interest in protecting life and in preventing cruel and unusual punishment.
The law also furthers the state's interest in protecting the health and safety of women who face particular and substantial physical and mental health risks from dismemberment abortions.
Finally, the law furthers the state's interest in protecting the integrity of the medical profession, including the health and safety of medical providers who face particularly adverse consequences from performing these types of procedures.
This law banning dismemberment abortion should have widespread support, but abortion advocates are blinded by their culture of death. Abortion in any form is genocide and cruel, but dismemberment abortion is even more barbaric. How can anyone support ripping and tearing apart an innocent child in the womb? To support dismemberment is subhuman. Yet, the ACLU supports the procedure.
+ + ACLU officials have announced their intent to challenge a new Arkansas law banning "dismemberment" abortions.
This is just how radical the ACLU is -- they are proudly vowing to fight in court "as soon as practically possible" and defend this brutal abortion procedure. And now the ACLU is even more dangerous since their lawyers are armed with tens of millions in new funds.
We are closely monitoring their actions and will challenge them in court when the time is appropriate in Arkansas.
This is a serious and growing threat from the ACLU. Help us boldly stand for the lives of the preborn and uphold laws that prevent the horrific torture of those who are the least protected in our society.
+ + There is irrefutable evidence that preborn babies are in fact children, not merely fetuses, and their lives should be protected.
LifeNews calls "dismemberment" abortions "a barbaric and dangerous procedure in which the unborn child is literally ripped apart in the womb and pulled out in pieces." Just as we saw with the outcry following the horrifying revelations of abortionist Herman Gosnell, if every legislator really understood what happens in an abortion, there would be no debate.
Would you consider a special gift today that will help Liberty Counsel in our ongoing efforts to defend the precious lives of the preborn and the laws that help protect their them?
