Texas Abortion Industry Fights "Dismemberment Abortion" Ban
Nov 10, 2017 by Alyssa Duvall - HELLO CHRISTIAN
A Texas abortion law hearing concluded on Wednesday with abortion industry spokespeople fighting the ban of “dismemberment abortions,” a gruesome and common method by which a living baby is evacuated from its mother’s womb limb by limb.
Earlier in 2017, abortion rights groups challenged Senate Bill 8, which would prohibit this method, most often performed in the second trimester of pregnancy. Pro-abortion and pro-life advocates now await the decision of U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel who presided over the hearing. Yeakel temporarily blocked the state from enforcing the law until the hearing.
Abortion industry spokespeople fought the ban on dismemberment abortion, known as dilation and evacuation, claiming it would put an undue burden on women’s access to abortion.
However, the Texas Right to Life organization (TRL) claims that the pro-abortion witnesses contradicted themselves throughout the trial and admitted the existence of alternative abortion methods that they could use to comply with the ban.
“At the end of the day, the abortion industry was forced to graphically describe the draconian and violent process of taking a child’s life through dismemberment, while also defending the practice they claim Texas has no right to prohibit,” TRL stated.
The ban would include a provision to allow dilation and evacuation if doctors cause “fetal demise” first, typically with a painful injection of either the drug Digoxin or potassium chloride.
Plaintiffs at the hearing testified that such procedures are “not only medically unnecessary but also add risk, pain, price, and logistical barriers, with little to no benefit.” With the use of Digoxin, a woman could even end up delivering her baby outside of a healthcare facility.
According to a report by The Federalist, the pro-abortion plaintiffs’ case was riddled with euphemisms and sanitized references to violent abortion procedures:
“One expert witness for the plaintiffs, Dr. Mark Nichols of Portland, Ore., corrected a state’s attorney’s offhand use of the phrase, ‘unborn child.’ ‘That’s not the term we use,’ he said. ‘That’s not the medical term.’ Sometimes, Nichols said, doctors will cause fetal demise prior to performing a second-trimester abortion to guard against ‘extra-mural delivery,’ which is when a baby that’s supposed to be aborted is instead born alive—an event that can ‘cause distress’ to the patient (the mother, not the unborn child).
Later, he spoke of ‘removing parts of the pregnancy,’ by which he meant ripping the limbs off a live human being. No wonder we speak of such things in euphemisms.”
In his closing statements, Darren McCarty, the attorney general’s lead counsel, urged the judge to consider the brutality committed against unborn babies in Texas: “…
it would be a great irony if the constitution that required the humane execution of criminals would ban the state from requiring the humane death of an unborn child,” McCarty said.
Pro-life advocates do not expect a favorable ruling from Judge Yeakel, but the state is prepared to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

My comments: Abortion Murder and those who Perpetrate it and Support it are a VILE as Hitler and all the Mass Murders in the History of the World. America has No Future, before the Living God as long as there is Government sanctioned Abortion Murder. Today, America is as VILE as the Pagan Nations that practiced Infanticide, that preceded her, and are No More.
