Supreme Court says Texas abortion law on hold; clinics off the hook for now
AUSTIN—The Supreme Court issued an order Monday that means Texas abortion clinics don’t have to meet strict new standards for the time being.
The order indicates that clinics will not have to comply with new building and operating standards until the full court can weigh whether or not to take up the case on appeal.
The order follows a ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans earlier this month upholding a Texas law that would have forced more than half of the state’s remaining abortion clinics to close. SOURCE
Abortion stops a beating heart and is nothing short of MURDER!
I must have a different perspective than *some* males, the ones that feel that it’s OK to get a woman pregnant because there’s always the *abortion* option, but I’m not a screaming Liberal, I am a MAN that accepts responsibility.
I could never have an association of any kind with an *abortion on demand* woman, it’s just not the way I was raised, and thank God my children are responsible parents and are raising their children to become responsible adults.
Why is the left so eager to stop a beating heart, unless it is in the body of a career criminal?
With same-sex marriage we can hope that in a generation or 2 the Libs have killed themselves and that babies can thrive and be loved…
As I see it Fred, the elites are trying to flood the country with “new Americans” as hillery refers to all the illegal welfare leeches that are being given what WE THE PEOPLE have worked for. They want white and black babies to be replaced with ethnically diverse babies. that way it is easier to erase our history and create their own version. As I say in my post below, progressivism and islam…….. perfect together.
I may be picking pennies from the garbage, but it seems to me that *if* the SCOTUS takes up the case (no guarantee of that) and then decides that the law *is* constitutional, it would clear the way for another 49 states to follow Texas’ lead.
Keep your powder dry
It could well be…
For your reading pleasure… If you know what the end result is and in abortion you know that those actions will cause the death of the baby…rather simple if you ask me…. but according to most liberals I am STUPID..maybe I am..maybe I am.. rather stupid than liberal
Under Texas Law a person does not commit an offense unless they do so intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence. The definition of the particular offense will state which mental state is required.
Culpable mental states are classified according to relative degrees, from highest to lowest, as follows:
(1) intentional;
(2) knowing;
(3) reckless;
(4) criminal negligence.
The definitions of the mental states are codified in Texas Penal Code Section 6.03:

The article says: “law requiring physicians who perform abortions to have gain admitting privileges at near by hospitals and requiring abortion clinics to meet hospital-like building standards.”
Isn’t this law designed to make it SAFER for women seeking an abortion? Doesn’t this prevent the so called “back ally” abortions and prevent things like Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion doctor, who was convicted of murdering patents during abortions? Does not the left care about the safety of women? No, all they care about is a women getting an abortion. If they live or die during the procedure, they could care less as long as she was able to “exercise her choice”.
What happened here is black robed lawyers wield too much power. Federal judges putting constitutionally enacted state laws on hold. The Federal Courts should have absolutely no authority in cases like this. Texas didn’t prevent the abortions from taking place, although I wish they could. All they did was make having one safer.
Funny that no Federal black robes lawyers stepped in and said that taking 9 months to get a gun permit in NY is infringing on the 2nd Amendment too the Bill of Rights.
I find myself agreeing with BobF. Progs are “if it feels good, do it”. The whole sanctity of life is ignored when speakin of a womans’ right to do as she pleases with her own body. When it comes right down to it, why wouldn’t she use birth control? mooslimes don’t give a shit for a persons life as long as they take it in the name of allah or die in the glory of geehadd. I’m wondering, could there be a connection between the way a progerssive thinks and the way the followers of moohamhead think? It seems to me that both groups are fucked up in the head.
