Conley noted that the law went from proposal to enactment in 43 days and had no medical purpose to support it.
Hey–neither does abortion–it serves no medical purpose. Just saying.

Maybe I’m beating on a dead horse here, but I have to wonder what the doctors in North Dakota have to say about this law. I would think that it would be a hard thing to do, stop a beating heart and kill a child. Early term abortion is much more palatable to everyone who is willing to perform abortions, and, really, only a very few doctors are willing to perform abortions, and of those few, only a very few doctors are willing to perform late term ones.
The human heart begins to beat between 18 and 21 days after conception, but, realistically isn’t picked up until 8 or 9 weeks, sometimes even later. This is a compromise position.
Late term abortion is so repugnant to almost everyone that I really cannot, for the life of me, see the tactical advantage for the abortion advocates in trying to defend it. Seems to me that every time prolifers pass a law like this, the general public becomes a little more knowledgeable about prenatal development, and, even when the law gets struck down we win, and the abortion advocates look more and more like monsters who do not care about very young children.
Here’s a question for the lawyers: how does one go about making a legal challenge to the law? Can virtually anyone, with a substantial bank account so that they can pay the necessary legal fees, challenge a democratically-enacted law just because the law won’t let them do something they would like to do? ‘Cause it seems to me, if that is the case, then the people with the biggest bank accounts win, which is kind of the scenario that democracy is supposed to dissuade. If we really are a democratic society, then the laws ought to be made by the majority, not single judges.
In the US, many judges are elected. District Judge Daniel Hovland, if his position is indeed elected, probably won’t be elected again.
Even though this is disappointing, the good news is that other places in the U.S. and elsewhere we prolife individuals are making ground. P.S. I admire what you do and what you stand for.
