Federal Judge Blocks Texas Dismemberment Abortion Ban

[Townhall] U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel issued a temporary injunction Thursday against a law, recently signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, banning some "dilation and evacuation" second trimester abortions. The law would’ve taken effect Friday.

The legislation specifically prohibited the performance of abortion procedures that extract "the unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus through the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors, or a similar instrument that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slices, crushes, or grasps, or performs any combination of those actions on, a piece of the unborn child’s body to cut or rip the piece from the body."

Planned Parenthood sued, arguing that the law amounted to an abortion ban after 15 weeks for some women and that D&E abortions were one of the safest abortion procedures for women.

#4 Probably because they would use rose pruners and a turkey baster if it got around the law.

#5 .....that D&E abortions were one of the safest abortion procedures for women. "
Not so much for the living being you are murdering inside their mother. Aside from the whole religion issue on the reality of killing a soul, somewhere in the second trimester the fetus reaches early stages of viability with some help. Killing them by dissection in the womb seems sickening beyond words, not the act of a civilized society it would seem.
