The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has reversed a lower court decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Paxton, and upheld a Texas pro-life law. The court voted 9-5 for the pro-life law.

Life News reports:

Texas Senate Bill 8 prohibits dismemberment abortions, a method typically used in the second trimester to kill nearly fully-formed, living unborn babies. It is a barbaric and dangerous procedure in which the unborn baby is ripped apart in the womb and pulled out in pieces while his or her heart is still beating.

A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked enforcement of the law last year. But Texas sought, and was granted a re-hearing by the full court. Jennifer Walker Elrod and Don Willett issued the majority opinion and concurring in the result were judges Priscilla Owen, Edith Jones, Jerry Smith, Catharina Haynes, James Ho, Kurt Engelhardt and Cory Wilson.

“Texans celebrate today’s long-awaited victory,” said Texas Right to Life Director of Media and Communication Kimberlyn Schwartz. “Anyone can see the cruelty of dismemberment abortions, ripping a child’s body apart while her heart is still beating. We’re grateful the judges recognized this horror.”

State Sen. Charles Schwertner, who wrote the bill, said the legislation will “ensure the dignity and protection for the unborn child” in Texas.

Lets get our government back and CHARGE hypocrite “pro-choice”! Their tag line “ my body, my choice”, apparently ONLY applies to KILLING babies. THESE SAME EVIL GOD HATING ANIMALS ARE THE SAME SUBHUMAN MORONS DEMANDING VAX AND MAX.
