Every single state in America with an abortion ban in place allows abortions in emergency circumstances if necessary to save the life of the mother. There is no pro-life state in America that forces pregnant women to put their lives at risk.
But during an abortion debate at the Supreme Court today, Justice Sonia Sotomayor lied about this.
She falsely claimed some states prohibit abortions to save the mother’s life.
During an exchange with Idaho attorney Joshua Turner, who is defending the state’s pro-life law in court from an attack by the Biden administration – which wants to overturn the law to allow all abortions in Idaho – Sotomayor made the false statement.
“What you’re saying is that no state in the nation — and there are some right now that don’t even have that as an exception to their anti-abortion laws — what you’re saying is there is no federal law on the books that prohibits any state from saying even if a woman will die you cannot perform an abortion,” she said.
Turner had to correct the liberal justice.
“I know of no state that doesn’t include a life-saving exception,” he explained.
Turner is correct.
According to the Charlote Lozier Institute, every pro-life state in America allows abortions in the very rare instance where it might possibly be necessary to protect a woman’s life.
Twenty-five states have one or more strong gestational limits on abortion that are either in effect or are enjoined while in litigation. Each of these states permits abortion in those rare and heartbreaking circumstances when it is necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.
Physicians can make this determination based on their “reasonable medical judgment,” a standard very common in the medical profession and used for any case involving medical malpractice litigation.
Meanwhile, abortion advocates are spreading the dangerous lie that life-saving care is not or may not be permitted in these states, leading to provider confusion and poor outcomes for women.
Obama misspoke. She is the “wide latina”.
Oh OKAY “Wide Latina” as in she has a fat head?
Lucky for her that she’s a liberal or the media would be calling for her removal.
And this woman decides what laws are constitutional....🙄🙄🙄
Their opening gambit is always slander, and nothing they say can be taken at face value.
Not he brightest bulb there huh?
Not the sharpest tool in the toolbox huh?
She got the job for being a very ugly Latina.
She applied the term “wise Latina” to herself. I continue to use it ironically, along with “Jewish lesbian” and now “Negro non-biologist” to describe the three nutcases.
She could afford to eat a little less fry-bread, and get a little more exercise.
Which Supreme Count Justice is the least intelligent, Sotomayor or Jackson-Brown?
