Planned Parenthood Lawsuit Against Lubbock Abortion Ban Dismissed by U.S. District Judge
[THETEXAN.NEWS] After the citizens of Lubbock voted to become a "Sanctuary City for the Unborn" and ban child sacrifice abortion in town limits, Planned Parenthood
...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party...
sued the city.

Yesterday, the lawsuit was dismissed.

According to Judge James Hendrix of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, the case is not justiciable since Planned Parenthood lacks standing to sue the city. Furthermore, court precedent and state law both appear to allow the ban. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
Hendrix wrote that certain elements of the case may still be resolved in another court.

Because of the way it was crafted, the ban bucks the typical process of lawsuits between child sacrifice abortion providers and governments that has dominated American child sacrifice abortion jurisprudence in cases like Planned Parenthood v. Casey and the seminal Texas case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt.

The "sanctuary" ordinance that Lubbock adopted uses private lawsuits for enforcement. An aborted child’s living kin can sue anybody that performed or aided the child’s child sacrifice abortion, other than the mother, for compensatory or punitive damages. In addition, any private citizen can bring an action for injunctive relief or statutory damages against violators. No government employee can sue, and the city cannot punish violators before meeting certain legal thresholds — for example, if the U.S. Supreme Court

overturns Roe v. Wade and other binding jurisprudence — thus undercutting Planned Parenthood’s standing to sue.

#1 This will be an interesting case to follow. If successful will be a model for further anti-abortion bans.

#2 Just heard this yesterday, in a Charlie Kirk video (paraphrasing) - 'If it not your DNA, it's not your body.'

Not your person, a totally new person.

#4 The crisis was quite existential:
"What, fail to fulfill my potential?
This careless romancer
Could someday cure cancer
Or, I dunno... be influential!"
