MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A federal judge has struck down a Wisconsin law requiring abortion providers to get hospital admitting privileges.

U.S. District Judge William Conley ruled Friday that the 2013 law is unconstitutional.

Planned Parenthood and Affiliated Medical Services had sued the state, arguing the requirement will force AMS’s Milwaukee clinic to close because its doctors can’t get admitting privileges.

Let the mothers die if something goes wrong! We wouldn’t want to cut into Planned Parenthood’s abortion profits! It would be anti-women to give aborted mothers proper access to medical treatment! Kill the babies and let the mothers take their chances! It’s unconstitutional to do anything else!

that judge sees it as unConstitutional to require admitting privileges to perform an abortion?

so it’s unConstitutional because its inconvenient?

then i would like this judge to rule on the Constitutionality of being killed before passing through the labia

because it’s pretty damn inconvenient to have your brains scrambled before you’ve taken your first breath

While I'm not intimately familiar with Wisconsin law, I'm pretty sure that surgeons on the staff of every outpatient surgery center (ASC) in the state are required to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

This is because of the universal principal that an operating surgeon must be prepared to take care of the common complications that occur with his patients and such care usually has to be provided in a hospital setting - hence the need for operating privileges.

The logical extension of this bizarre decision would be that surgeons in Wisconsin operating primarily in ASCs could/should apply the same legal principal as the judge and resign en masse from their "unconstitutionally-required" hospital privileges.

Rats! One step forward, two steps back. We were close to getting rid of PP in this state because of this law! It is unconscionable that this Federal Judge thinks that it is OK to do “procedures” like this in an office without the back up of hospital admitting privileges!

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

More federal overreach. Another log on the fire burning of original intent. Eventually this will end.

If Governor Walker wanted an easy stroll into the White House, he’d tell U.S. District Judge William Conley to shove it and continue to enforce the law as written.

Where in the Constitution are these judges getting this nonsense?

Right there in the penumbra. The paragraph after it says abortion will be provided at all costs.

The “law” was unconstitutional, but not for the reason this lawless judge asserts.

It was unconstitutional because it in effect ended with “and then you can kill the baby.”

The U.S. Constitution explicitly and imperatively demands equal protection for the right to life of every person, in every state.

“Planned Parenthood and Affiliated Medical Services had sued the state, arguing the requirement will force AMS’s Milwaukee clinic to close because its doctors can’t get admitting privileges.”

So what. How does that make the law unconstitutional? There is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits a State from having such a law.

If Scott Walker fights this... by defying the courts and defending the rights of women not to die in these ‘clinics’... he wins 2016 in a landslide.

Dang, missed that. Must have been printed in a font that printed this. The first 500 words of the Declaration Of Independence.

There is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits a State from having such a law.

There is if it grants a government license to murder a child, after some set of arbitrary rules are met.

"U.S. District Judge William Conley ruled Friday that the 2013 law is unconstitutional."

With all due respect to the judge, I don’t know where he went to law school (and I don’t want to know). But wherever he went, the school is evidently not teaching students about 10th Amendment (10A)-protected powers versus constitutinally unprotected “rights” like abortion and gay marriage.

In other words, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion, pro-abortion activist judges and justices actually have no constitutionally enumerated rights to throw at the states through the 14th Amendment when they make 10A-protected laws which regulate things like abortion and gay rights.

1956. I guess that was too early for approval of him to be dismembered by an abortionist.

To be expected.... the left-wing tries to overrule the will of the people by judicial legislating and they just judge-shop and sue until they get their way. Looking forward to seeing this get reversed on appeal and hopefully remain in effect to drive Planned Parenthood into oblivion.
