NEW ORLEANS, LA, June 9, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Texas will likely see half its remaining abortion facilities close after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a key provision of a pro-life law passed in 2013.

A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based court turned back the abortion industry's challenges to a provision of H.B. 2 that required abortion facilities to meet the same standards as other ambulatory surgical centers. All three judges were appointed by President George W. Bush.

This is terrible news! After all, it's all the result of some law that's a "compromise", that "permits the killing of babies on an acceptable time table set my the Natjonal Right to Life"...blah blah...

Just another “common sense” regulation on the abortion industry.

You know. Just like “common sense” gun laws.

Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it lefties?

Seriously, it never seems to amaze me the way Pro choice people can show their faces in public. When did it become ok to advocate killing babies? Unreal.

The fact that a majority of the doctors providing abortions in Texas could not get hospital privileges tells you all you need to know about the abortion industry. Abortion doctors are the bottom of the barrel in the medical world. Many of them have had numerous malpractice issues and have been disciplined by state medical boards. For most of them abortion is the last option for making a living in medicine

So I guess the words "a woman has the right to abort her unborn child" was not in the constitution after all?

Rove v Wade is one of the worst court decisions in US history.

I've been reading Martin Gilbert, Holocaust. Whatever we do, pace any supposed purity or sufficiency of the Constitution or past sufficiency, whatever we do for these must be whatever was done for them.

Abort and abortion need to be taken out of our vocabulary and replaced with “Kill”. Or “murder”.

Entirely too much pussyfooting around with the truth. To save some peoples feelings. I guess.

I would say it is WORST decision with 2nd place so far behind that it brings to mind Secretariat's win in the Belmont. Dred Scott was bad but most of those blacks lived, how many black babies never had the chance at life? Millions! The greatest holocaust in all of human history!

Your statements are too succinct; one can only surmise the argument.

The argument takes place at three levels, each with their own sphere of responsibility.

(1) the common ordinary citizen, who does not legislate,
(2) the legislator or lawmaker, who does
(3) the theorist, who works out a legal philosophy

Were I a common ordinary citizen in Germany during the war, should I have insisted that nothing be done for the Jews until first a just and lawful understanding of the human person replace the final solution?

Were I an official, in some legislative capacity, should I have insisted that I sign no document until first a just and lawful understanding of the human person replace the final solution?

Perhaps I place less emphasis on the efficacy of a Constitution than the efficacy of a people. In a certain way, the people are above a constitution because only a people perceive a higher law than the constitution (cf. Hayek).

Agreed! It reminds me of the definition of Progressive, Marxist and Socialist. It is all how they kill people...

Marxism - Bullets
Socialism - Gas
Progressives - Abortion

This is such a common sense measure - but I bet you could still get four Supreme Court Justices to say its unconstitutional.

If the law goes into effect, the number of state abortion facilities is expected
to drop from 17 to seven that meet its requirements. The remaining clinics are
in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio areas.

Yep, that's right. Oskar Schindler was no better than Eichmann because he (Schindler) saved a thousand Jews while letting the rest die.
