Supreme Court rules in abortion case (USA)

June 27, 2016 by Andrea Mrozek 5 Comments

The Supreme Court of the United States struck down a set of Texas restrictions aimed at improving standards in abortion clinics, so that they would be safer for patients.

I have a couple of off-the-cuff comments on this. One is that if Texas wants tight restrictions on abortion they should be allowed to have them. Where states are told by a far-away federal court what they can and can’t do, it means the Supreme Court is overriding the will of the people. This is a problem.

Second, abortion providers in the USA make a lot of money. So the picture from the National Post is worth a thousand words–these women own abortion clinics and their jobs would have gotten a lot more expensive if they needed to comply with the regulations. They are, as they walk down the steps of the Supreme Court, cheering for the money they will make.

Thirdly, whether abortion is “safer” than childbirth is a moot point. Since there is little to no justification for killing innocents, but there is always justification for saving life, then more properly, one should consider that in abortions a woman is going into surgery for reasons that could have been dealt with in a less invasive manner.

    When the law was being considered by the Texas Legislature, opponents claimed that the regulations would require on average about $140k in renovations at each center. The political arm of Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights organizations have received millions in donations used to support pro-choice candidates, fund lobbyists, and buy glitzy ad campaigns. The clinics in Texas did NOT have to close. They needed the clinics to close so that they could use the argument in this case that the law created an undue burden by “closing clinics.” If these centers truly cared about women’s health and believed that providing healthcare to women means keeping the clinics open, then the renovations could easily have been done. The Legislature allowed fifteen months for them to comply. They chose to close. And the Supreme Court used that to come to this misguided decision.

      Good point. Amazing that vets are likely more regulated than abortion clinics.
