BREAKING: Supreme Court rules AGAINST women, still okay to kill girls, mothers in abortion mills
FREE Catholic Classes
The Supreme Court has ruled against the state of Texas, and women, deciding that abortionists do not need to follow common sense safety measures before killing babies, and sometimes their mothers.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - A liberal, 5-3 vote by the justices has struck down a common sense Texas law passed in 2013 to ensure abortionists meet safety standards for women.
Abortions are deadly procedures that kill half of the people who undergo them. Occasionally, the mothers also die, or are injured in the process. To reduce the number of mothers who are killed or gravely injured by abortionists, the state has instituted a number of measures.
Abortion is one of only two medical procedures where the desired outcome is death. The other is euthanasia.
Those measures compelled abortion mills, which perform surgeries like hospitals, to meet a few basic hospital outpatient safety standards. Doctors were also required to have admitting privileges at nearby a nearby hospital, a potentially lifesaving measure that can buy valuable time when a mother is dying from a botched abortion attempt.
The justices ruled in favor of abortionists who insisted the safety measures were really an attempt to restrict abortion. Abortionists complained in 2013 that they could not sustain their business while meeting new safety requirements that also carried some cost.
But what doctor could be opposed to patient safety measures? Only a doctor whose primary motivation is profit.
And the profit motive was on full display as abortionists whined about how they might have to close a few mills due to the expense of keeping women safe.
Bizarrely, the court agreed with this assessment, going along with the prevailing idea that women should be allowed to butcher their children at whim, as long as they remain in the womb.
Americans remain almost evenly divided on the topic of abortion. However, right and wrong are not subject to popular opinion.
So the abortion mills in Texas will remain open to take your children and your money, but don't expect any extra protection from the abortionists in your body.
