The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit just ruled against the Texas Dismemberment Abortion Ban.
The decision by the three-judge panel is disappointing and demonstrates the need for judges who follow the Constitution. However, the fight is NOT finished! 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.
In 2017, Pro-Life activists like you urged the Texas Legislature to protect preborn children from torturous dismemberment abortions, a method that kills preborn children by tearing them apart limb by limb. Shortly before the law took effect, the abortion industry sued.
Both of the judges who argued that babies should be barbarically ripped apart were appointed by a DEMOCRAT president. The only judge who defended unborn babies was appointed by President Trump!

Friend, we must keep fighting!
The State of Texas is expected to appeal en banc, meaning all 17 judges of the circuit court would hear the case. The district court and three-judge panel failed to answer the case’s dynamic legal question: Is a dismemberment abortion inhumane enough to warrant legal prohibition?
The answer to this question directly undermines many of the Supreme Court’s previous arguments on abortion policies, such as the idea that earlier abortions are more ethical than those that occur after the baby can survive outside the womb. A ruling in favor of the Dismemberment Abortion Ban would compel the Supreme Court to address this question.
Texas must continue pushing for strong Pro-Life laws—both in the Legislature and through the courts—that directly challenge the faulty foundation upon which Roe v. Wade was decided.
