Divided 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Panel Rules Against Texas Ban on Dismemberment Abortions
National Right to Life News ^ | 10/14/20 | Dave Andrusko

State has 14 days to ask full 5th Circuit to hear case

Texas Right to Life responded yesterday to the 2-1 decision:

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled against the Texas Dismemberment Abortion Ban, upholding the district court ruling that blocked enforcement of the Pro-Life law. After a three-year wait, the decision by the three-judge panel is disappointing and demonstrates the need for judges who follow the strictest interpretation of the Constitution. However, Texas must continue the legal battle to force a federal circuit court split, pressuring the Supreme Court of the United States to evaluate the merits of the law.

As NRL News Today has explained, the law, passed in 2017, was never allowed to take effect. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel of Austin is as reliable a buttress as any pro-abortionist could possibly desire. In his 27 page opinion, Judge Yeakel traveled hither and yon to tell us that the ban (an amendment to Senate Bill 8 which passed overwhelmingly) is all but patently unconstitutional

In fact, the ban does no more than require that the unborn child’s heart is no longer beating when she is torn apart. Even this the abortion industry found unacceptable.

Not so the Texas legislature (or eight others), or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. “No just society should tolerate the tearing of living human beings to pieces,” Paxton has said, adding that the law “treats the unborn with dignity and respect and protects the integrity of the medical profession.”

Okay, then, let’s see Texas pass a death penalty law allowing living perps to be torn limb from limb as part of their execution. Somehow I think this judge would find that unacceptable.

We are in a society that is so depraved.

It’s my belief that on Judgment Day, the babies that these demons butchered will be permitted to participate in their judging, and will watch as the butchers are thrown alive into Hell for an eternity of torment.

Abortion is a synonym for child sacrifice.

Demonic Activity accompanies child sacrifice:

2 Kings 3: 26When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. 27Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall. The fury against Israel was great; they withdrew and returned to their own land.

From the article:

“Judges Dennis and Stewart, both appointed by Clinton, argued the Dismemberment Abortion Ban imposed an “undue burden” on women. Conversely, Judge Willett found the arguments promoted by the abortion industry unpersuasive. He will soon file his dissenting opinion. …”

These people are no better than those who sacrificed their children to Moloch. They have willingly allowed demonic influences in their lives. Woe to those who murder God’s creation.

I agree. But this may be a good thing in that this will next proceed to the supreme court. Hopefully with ACB.

Everyone should have to see what exactly goes on in these before voting for anyone. Out of sight . . . out of mind is the theme these days.

The ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was made by Judge Carl E. Stewart, nominated by Slick Willy and confirmed by the Demonicrat-controlled Senate in a voice vote on May 6, 1994, and by Judge James L. Dennis, nominated by Slick Willy and confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate in a voice vote on September 28, 1995.

Judge Don R. Willett, appointed by President Trump and confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate on December 13, 2017, dissented in an opinion to be published.

GOP-appointed judges hold a 12-5 advantage on the 5th, and yet the left still managed to have a 2-1 edge on the panel for that case.
