At the very same time the United States Supreme Court was reviewing an emergency request to block implementation of SB8, Texas’ new heartbeat bill — a doctor inside Fort Worth’s Whole Woman’s Health was putting in a 17-hour day, frantically aborting 67 babies before a midnight deadline.
According to reports, the physician was lauded for exhibiting commendable stamina, with the director of clinical services at the facility suggesting doctors half his age wouldn’t have been able to pull off such a feat.
“For a moment, they were able to savor it,” wrote an insider. “Even if he (the doctor) had performed one abortion, it would have been a victory.”
Savor and qualify the deaths of 67 innocent babies as a win?
Abortion has been hotly debated in the United States for more than half a century, predating even 1973. Still, momentum for the erosion of Roe is rapidly moving towards a tipping point. As evidenced by the High Court’s refusal to stay the controversial law in Texas and its decision to hear challenges to Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban this coming term, those of us who support every innocent life being protected under the law have reason to be encouraged. |
