5 out of 34
abortion mills closed after the Gosnell
trial and subsequent health regulation governing abortion clinic
standards and practices. The abortion
lobby argued that nearly all of Pennsylvania’s abortion clinics would fail, if health regulations were imposed. Didn’t happen.
And today,
in Texas, a new legislative effort will
begin to ban abortions following 20 weeks of pregnancy. Of course,
the same lobbyists in Pennsylvania are arguing that this is the end to free and “effective”
abortion in Texas. It is not, of course.
The bill allows abortion into the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and makes
provisions for a mal-formed fetus.
Understand
60% of American women oppose 2nd trimester abortions, and a surprising 80% oppose late term or 3rd
trimester, according to Kirsten
Powers, a Democrat analysis who writes
for the Daily Beast. The 2nd trimester begins with the 14th week of pregnancy and the 3rd trimester begins
with the 27th week of pregnancy.
This editor believes that a total ban on abortion will never happen. The actions taken by the Texas State legislature is the next best thing, and it is something that will stand after legal review. This is where we conservatives need to fight this battle. The all or nothing approach is actually continuing the deaths of 1.4 million unborn infants per year. Through education and legislation, we can cut this slaughter down to a few hundred.
