Strategic Case Could be Used to Reconsider Legalized Abortion in America
(Christian Broadcasting Network) Catherine Glenn Foster explained, "There's this exemption for abortion. For anyone who's performing an abortion, all of a sudden the same rules don't apply.  And really it is a situation where you have an abortion business fighting for the right to abandon their patients." The AUL leader continued, "They shouldn't be able to just forget about that woman as soon as she walks out from their door. They should ensure that she gets the emergency care that she needs and the treatment that she needs after that abortion has gone wrong."

Republicans Are Forging a Strong Case Against Roe v. Wade
(Bloomberg) The court’s wobbliness isn’t an accident. It’s a direct result of the lack of constitutional grounding for its decades of abortion decisions. The Constitution offers no guidance on whether or not a restriction on abortion is “undue.” That’s a subjective question, and the answer to it depends a great deal on how much value the life of a fetus has — which is to say, it’s inextricable from the question of the morality of abortion. The justices neither have nor claim any special knowledge about that underlying question. That’s why they ought to exit the field altogether, and leave abortion policy to legislators and voters.

(Kaiser Health News) Removing parental consent is a key element in a bill called the “Roe Act” that’s pending in the Massachusetts Legislature. It would also allow abortions in the third trimester — if a doctor diagnoses a fatal fetal condition — and, in anticipation of a post-Roe world, would establish the right to an abortion in state law.

Planned Parenthood’s New Annual Report Proves Abortion Is Its Mission
(National Review) Based on Planned Parenthood’s own reporting alone, its federal funding should be stripped and redirected to health-care organizations that actually serve women, rather than a group that profits from ending an increasing number of innocent human lives while the U.S. abortion rate continues to fall.
