Federal Court Rules Wisconsin Abortion Law Unconstitutional

A Wisconsin law that requires abortion providers to get admitting privileges at nearby hospitals is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court panel ruled Monday.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel's 2-1 decision doesn't put the question to rest. Nearly a dozen states have imposed similar requirements on abortion providers, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed last week to hear a challenge to Texas' law in a case that could settle the issue nationally.

The Wisconsin case centers on a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood and Affiliated Medical Services. The groups argue that the 2013 law amounts to an unconstitutional restriction on abortion.

How the hell is a law requiring additional medical support unconstitutional?

So what?

Governors, ignore the law. What are the judges going to do? Seriously, there ain’t a damn thing. The supreme court is the most flaccid branch of the US government. They have no power except what we give them.

Then the legislature needs to pass a new law which exempts abortion physicians from any complications which transpire during procedures and forbidding them from being sued for bad medical care. If they can’t be made to behave like real doctors, the “patients” shouldn’t receive the same protections they might expect from real physicians.

May the judge(s) who vomited forth this ruling be judged ever so severely by the God is Israel, David, and Christ. May our God receive the souls that will be murdered in utero due to this ruling.

The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the so-called right to have an abortion. So pro-abortion activist justices had no constitutionally enumerated abortion right to throw at the states via the 14th Amendment. Instead, they wrongly legislated the abortion ”right” from the bench, just as a later generation of pro-gay activist justices wrongly legislated the so-called right to gay ”marriage” from the bench.

In fact, justices not only stole legislative power to establish the ”rights” to abortion and gay ”marriage,” but they breached the Founding States division of state and federal government powers and stole 10th Amendment-protected state powers, using this power to legislate these fictious constitutional ”rights” from the bench.

Weird how the second amendment which states the right cannot be infringed is regulated and the right is suspended in most government buildings, but a right to abortion which is not found in the constitution cannot be regulated. It is almost as if the Constitution is just not all that important to the court.

The right is suspended in entire states, and no one does anything about it.

Listening to Rush yesterday going on and on about the half breed’s disdain for the Courts, the Constitution and laws, in general. I was screaming that all the complaints amount to NOTHING, unless we DO something to stop the lawlessness.

Ignore this ruling; cite the half breed as precedent. Good for the goose; good for the gander. So shall you sow, so shall you reap.

Governors, ignore the law.

14 of them had their chance with Obergfell. On the day that diktat was issued, I contacted my county commissioners and demanded they instruct the County Clerk to ignore the ruling and obey Tennessee state law.

They didn't.

And these folks claim to be mindful of the life and the health of the mother? Shameful. I certainly hope that we’ll take this to the US Supreme Court.

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

Yep. Heard this on the local radio news this morning, and my heart sank. Again.

I mean, if abortion was supposed to be SAFE, legal and RARE, then what’s the fuss?

Oh...that wasn’t the end game though now, was it?

*SPIT*

Seems to me the Constitution protects the rights of the unborn who came to being at conception in evidence of human DNA which is used in court to establish innocence or guilt.

“A Wisconsin law that requires abortion providers to get admitting privileges at nearby hospitals is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court panel ruled Monday.”

It’s a judicial opinion. An opinion has no force of law. Ignore the court.
